Does sleeping less affect NoFap?

Hey, no it isn't just your goddamn brain. From experience though if I stay past say 1 am, I am extremely easily triggered and go on searches which land me on paths to well... This:



You will see if you stick to NoFap that you will gain time you didn't have before, and at times more mental clarity to achieve your goals.

 

Less sleep means less willpower, focus, and sometimes worse moods.
You will more easily give into your urges if you are sleepy.

 

For me less sleep is a sign of withdrawal symptoms. Everyone is different: they can range from having anxiety, feeling irritable, chills, and a whole bunch of other dreadful symptoms. Not sleeping well could be a sign that you're about to relapse and you must stay strong and fight the urges. Once, I PMO'd after 30 days of no porn and I felt it was the only way I could get to sleep. Yeah I don't blame you for feeling this way, being able to get enough sleep while abstaining from porn is very difficult. Also, try to educate yourself on porn at www.yourbrainonporn.com. They have good articles and tips on overcoming porn addiction. Good luck.

 

Willpower is a muscle. When you work your muscles you need to let them recover so that they get stronger. You need to eat healthy and sleep well if you want to have a strong willpower.

 

Yea I haven't been able to sleep for the past few three days it's been really frustrating. I also think I'm having Porn Withdraws but see it's on been 5 days since I PMO which is the crazy part.

 

Sleeplessness and sleepiness alters the brains ability to think clearly and reason effectively. Therefore, I would think that less sleep would put you in compromising situations. I agree with ruso , the later I stay up the more my brain starts wandering and I start making poor choices.
