    So, I am on day 5 of NoFap (I'm using the streak tracking in NoFap subreddit, btw) and I woke up in the middle of the night (around 2~3 AM, I think), the urges were too strong and I kept fantasizing in the night left. I resisted, I clearly know what my goals are – recovering from porn-addiction and also rebooting the reward system in my brain – so I was mentally prepared all the time not to do anything stupid. But the images, the fantasies, lasted all night long and I couldn't sleep :/. I did some research in the morning about fantasies/daydreaming/mentalmasturbation (or whatever is actually used) but couldn't find much information about it. If you relate to at least one of these things, what do you do to keep them away? Can you give me some tips and share you know about this too?
    I'm asking cause I don't want to lose another night of sleep again since this will affect me a lot and cause me to become more improductive the next day :/
     
  2. Lots of people on this forum will probably tell you not to do this, but I clear my head with mediation and right after I finish meditating I use a hypnotherapy file I had made by a CHT (certified hypnotherapist). After that one-two punch, I easily get to sleep. The audio file doesn't specifically help me with my urges or fantasies, it clears my head of everything (specifically negative thoughts) so I'm in the best frame of mind to get a good night's sleep.

    I have the same issues mate, they are particularly strong in the first 2 weeks of rebooting.

    The above suggestions is a great one try to relax your mind before bed and set a clear intention for your body
