Severe insomnia is killing my streaks.

Can you drink some milk? That usually helps...

 

Make sure the milk is warm, so it goes down smooth and your body doesn't have to expend energy changing it's temperature.

How long was your streak before the insomnia kicked in?

 

I downloaded one of those breathing apps that you follow along to. There are loads of different ones, breathing for alertness, concentrating etc but I only use the sleep one. I follow along to the sleep one twice, as the first time doesn’t usually make me tired enough, 2nd time around does.

never in a million years did I think it would work but it does

 

There is no cure all for insomnia but there are plenty of methods out there that can help.

Exercise or hard work can make it easier to go to sleep.

Meditation before bed.

Sleep supplements are another option.

It's important to try everything out for yourself and find out what works for you. Be patient, problems may not go away as soon as you find a solid solution, progress takes time.

 

Life long insomniac here. I feel your pain tremendously.

First question - does PMO actually help you get to sleep or are you still awake for a while after?

Something to keep in mind is that the blue light on your phone that you’re watching porn on is only screwing with your brain and keeping you awake longer. Now to mention the stimulation that you need to come down from.

My suggestions:

No tv or phone at least 2 hours before bed.
If possible, don’t use your bed or bedroom for anything other than sleep (I know this is impossible for some)
Read before bed. Self help books in particular
Meditation before bed (it’s difficult at first… keep trying)
CBD and/or thc drinks.

Milk, particularly warm milk, is so gross. Drink tea!

 

Keeping my room cold as everest, a hot bath/long shower, and military relaxation exercises in bed, usually does the trick for me.
