    I've been having this problem for a few months now (I started nofap 2 years ago and never dealt with this until recently).

    About 20-30 minutes after falling asleep I seem to wake up in a sort of weird haze, incredibly horny and completely without memory of the fact that I'm trying to avoid MO and PMO. The only thing I remember is that I edge a little or until close to O before stopping.

    This was worse before where I'd actually wake up, seek out porn then remember that I shouldn't be doing this only when it's too late or just before it's too late.

    Now I kind of just edge while half asleep, it's weird and it causes chaser effects and withdrawal symptoms. It's pretty shitty to feel like you're not even in control of your own habits so I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this or has an answer?

    I've noticed this too....although I only started NoFap today, But at night I would do similar things if I didn't watch porn that day.

    Yeah.. I've heard of other guys with the problem. Kinda weird because you can't police your own body when you're unconscious...

    I had this problem during college shortly after the first time I tried to give up porn. Nearly every night I would wake up after an O with no recollection of how I even got there. I blamed myself a long time. I tried so many different things to stop it from happening. I wore multiple pairs of drawstring pajama pants to bed, tying multiple knots to make it harder for anything to happen. I tried sleeping on the floor. I even managed to figure out a way to tighten my pants and use a combination lock to keep it that way. I ended up tearing a hole in them in my sleep.

    I eventually got sucked back into porn, and the night masturbating became much less frequent (I have had one or two episodes in the last two years). I just started nofap, so I don't know if I have any advice for you. Personally, I'd actually prefer to be back in that position now - at least then I wouldn't be willfully choosing to PMO. I hope you can figure something out.

    Yeah I have the exact same problem but in the morning when I wake up. Seeing as I sleep on my stomach, my morning wood is more stimulated because of the contact it has with the bed so before I even know it I am MOing.

    If I can ever figure something out I'll post it here.

    So far, I've been meditating a lot more than I ever have, and getting deeper into it. The instances of waking up and seeking porn have pretty much gone, but I still MO in my sleep from time to time. Maybe that will just take time too.

    This ussualy happens to me when I eat after 8:00 pm , when I'm extremly tired ,or when I go to bed at a funny time.
    Whenever I'm working out ,eating before 8:00 pm , going to sleep before 12 pm , I never experience this.
    However I had this problem today and unconsciously fapped which made me very angry.Should not have happened if I had managed my time correctly.
