No PMO and... Insomnia?

Yup, I recently went 2 weeks and have slept about 4 hours a night which is unsusual. I nearly always get at least 7 or 8 hours since I do a physical job and am exhausted by the end of the day. The crazy thing is, I have so much extra energy that it almost feels normal. I feel like I might have to go a month of this pattern before my newfound energy and lack of sleep just puts me into complete exhaustion and I can sleep for an entire weekend.

 

Yes I suffer from insomnia always. I don't know it has to do with fapping or not since I started at such am early age. I'm on day 14ish and get really restless around 2-4 am. By restless I mean needing a release bad. The first week was easy, but it's getting worse. I've been trying to workout before bed, it seems to be working. Stay strong!

 

Be careful of this. This is how I relapsed on day 37. I couldn't go to sleep and unusually strong urges came. I fought the urges for 2 hours. I should have just gotten out of bed and decided not to try to sleep. 37 day streak down the drain just because I didn't have a plan in place.

 

I've also had times during my first time going no PMO and not being able to sleep. For me though, it was because I was often REALLY horny at nighttime. If it's the same for you, just take some deep breaths, listen to some music, and give sleep your best shot.

 

In the long-run, you're better off not sleeping tonight and not acting out than acting out, getting a good night's sleep, and being back to square one.

 

I am 15 days in on no MO and have been waking up every two hours or so for the past two nights. This waking up is not because I am anxious about something connected to work or family issues. I usually sleep straight through the night for 7 or 8 hours, so this trouble sleeping I think might very well be connected to nofap and my body resetting itself. I hope this messed-up sleep ends soon.

 

Yep, same in here.

It was about day 20 till day 40. Woke up with anxiety and depression. Hard times - but you ll survive it!

 

I have three months of bad sleep. I have lack of energy. I am dreaming of the times I will sleep well again.

 

Cut out binge/heavy drinking as this also exacerbates porn withdrawal significantly. Stop smoking as well if you guys smoke. I had a binge drink over Xmas, New Years. What followed was two months of shit sleep, worst thing ever.
