I've always had sleep problems, but they got worse when I started nofap. Every day I woke up a few hours earlier than planned. For some time everything was fine. I am currently in the fourth month of nofap and I have started waking up earlier again. I sleep for 4 hours, the slightest noise wakes...

I'm on my longest streak of abstinence in several months. It's been about 8 days since I've relapsed or even peeked. The last couple nights, I've had trouble sleeping. I'll wake up and toss and turn several times before my morning alarm goes off. The quality of rest I'm getting isn't great as a...

Has anyone here got any experience with insomnia and taking sleepers or any meds to help? I'm currently in a bad flatline with dead libido and suffering from extreme anxiety which is causing me to get nearly 0 sleep maybe 1 or 2 hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm on day 15 no pmo after a bad...

Hi guys, I'm on day 78 of the reboot. I'm usually healthy and I haven't tripped even once! Doing the reboot properly, tonight for the first time after 78 days I have a severe sleep problem! I can not fall asleep ! I am writing this to you at 2:30 in the morning in my country, I went for a...

I am 38 years old and male, I recently started going the nofap route (early November, but relapsed about 2 weeks ago and jerked off twice since I didn't know all that I know now about dopamine and stuff) after I noticed that my health and mental health started going down the drain suddenly, I...

I have read that anxiety, depression, and insomnia are side effects of porn withdrawal, but these last couple years I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. And over 15 years of regular porn use I have wasted a lot more time and probably missed out on many experiences. I know it's pointless...

Anybody here a chronic sufferer of insomnia? I know I am not the only one. I wanted to know the methods you guys use and do in order to get a good night's sleep, if any. Do you find that being on a streak helps? What are your bedtime routines? I guess my dilemma is quite unique that not even...

There a days where I mastrubate like 8 times in a row(only through thoughts no porn), basicly mastrubating myself into sleep so to speak! Today I only sleept like 3 hours. It's the feeling of not being satisfied that distracts me so much! Just do it one time more... It's hell!

Hello everyone. I am 32yo currently at day 12 not using porn and day 28 semen retention. I absolutely can't sleep, I am going crazy, the ONLY thing that puts me to sleep is taking Zolpidem (benzo), everything else have been done already, nothing works. Should I masturbate without porn? Maybe I would...

Ive had this addiction (porn and masturbation) since I was like 12 years old now I’m 26 and I accepted it.. I’m like 30 days “clean” and I’ve been experiencing a lot of symptoms.. mainly anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, zero libido, can’t even watch my gf in the eyes although she know...

i been suffering from Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome POIS for quite a number of years. get the usual symptoms of headache, chronic fatigue, depressed mood and very bad insomnia for next few days up to a week sometimes after ejaculation. that makes not PMOing even more imperative. my...

So I was dealing with terrible insomnia in the first six months of nofap but after taking some homeopathy medicines for the last month, I have been sleeping for literally like 10-11 hours. I do have the problem of waking up though in between but that's still bearable and I'm able to get back to...

So in the beginning of nofap, when I was having severe withdrawals, I started taking homeopathic medicines for insomnia and over time I've found them to be quite effective and working for me. I certainly don't believe it's a placebo as many would call it. It does work and I'm definitely going to...

Many Know PMO Is A Life Destroying Viscious Cycle.. Sometimes Just The PORN Is Enough To Weaken Us, Distort Our Minds, Aggitate Our Feelings, And Keep Us Up For A Few Hours With Unregulated Energy. So, How Do We Fall Asleep And Continue Another Day Without Falling To MASTERBATION Or ORGASM...

Hello everyone, I am 18 and male. I am having some issues with my behavior. I have a strange habit of masturbating in sleep. It has happened two times this week. It's being hard to maintain my streak. I don't watch porn anymore but I am unable to resist masturbation. I also have a history of...

At 14 I started masturbating to women using my imagination, then I transitioned to google images and I eventually approached porn streaming within 6 months. Watching mostly mainstream hardcore porn with cum-shots and stuff that you all know. I stayed in that place for the longest time, scoring...

I find it interesting (in addition to annoying) that on the day of a relapse, no matter what time of the day it happens, i can’t sleep for more than 3 hours straight. Have you also experienced this? I guess it must be psychological, in that it causes stress levels to rise. How ironic that...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts I’m currently writing this while in bed and I’ve got to say. This sucks I’m on day 18, 8 hours in and I haven’t been able to sleep for the last two days all I think about when I lay on my bed wide awake is SEX SEX SEX PORN PORN PORN. And it doesn’t stop. I have been able...

Where porn lives, dreams die. I've been awake since 4am (or at least that was the time I looked at the clock). It's now passed 7am here. I was awakened by something I ate, hours before. When this used to happen, back in the bad old days, it's obvious what remedy I used to fall back asleep...

Im trying to resist, and i did successfully last night, at the cost of not getting any sleep at all. Ive tried meditations, relaxing sounds, melatonin, bedtime stories, getting out of bed to move around before trying again, and nothing helped. I read on other ppl's posts that they just let the...

ive been on nofap for some days now. everything good in life until recently. i just watched porn this evening and then i got the feeling in my mind i used to have like a zombie wanting more and more and i straight up shutted my browser down and moved on and now i cant sleep. it just wont happen...

Hey peeps. I'll try to keep it sweet and short. * I'm 34. Been PMOing for most of my 20s. * Only started with severe symptoms a year ago * Typical P induced stuff I guess : Brain fog, fatigue, lethargy, headaches, insomnia (really bad), ED but not as bad. * Did MRI, full blood, sinus op...

I have big achievable goals set in time for the next decade or so regarding my blissful freedom. I have my own personal schedule (that I can still improve) structured with alarms on a smartphone which are turned off due to current adjustment on the ringtones for each tasks (I'm putting 20min...

So I used to be a solid sleeper. Slept like a rock and loved it. A few years back, I had did a "reboot" although I wasn't aware of it. I was on a mission to get healthy, quit a ton of bad habits at once. Didn't sleep for a month but it gradually got better. I remember around 90 days or so...

Hey, question for you guys - do you get insomnia during you streak? From like day 11 - day 14 I have really struggled to switch off at night. I am not doing anything different in the run up-to bed - like playing video games or anything. I am doing sudukos, reading and trying everything to get...

I'll try to keep it short. I fantasized every night since puberty, like every single night. Now I'm having trouble sleeping if I do not fantasize. And it grows with the nofap count, first it took me half an hour to fall asleep, now 2 hours and after day 60 I'm awake atleast 4 hours after going...

Hello everyone. I need some help right now. I’m on god knows how many days of nofap, probably 4-5, and I’ve never been better. I feel like a part of myself has been reclaimed. The problem is that the last two nights I’ve woken up with raging boners and impure thoughts about this girl. It was...

Hey guys my name is Jordan. I've had a hard time with Insomnia ever since I was little. Along with sleep paralysis as well which is no way fun to any matter. But to get straight to the point. I am having trouble right now with PMO before going to bed. Yes I do take some pretty strong sleeping...

Lack of sleep, usually caused my mind chatter, seems to be a bigger trigger for me than anything. Like, I'm in bed, restless, my brain is working overtime and nothing seems to allow me to switch off. After a while my thinking invariably turns to "knock one out, it will help you to sleep" -- and...

Hey all, I'm 22 years old and started doing nofap 14 days ago (hard mode, I'm very single). I've run into a bit of a problem currently and I'm just wondering if anyone has tips or knows how long to expect these issues. Basically I only seem to be able to sleep 4-5 hours a night. I find...

Yes i accept that social media is really ruining my life... i lost my sleep, i used to procastinate alot these days, ive lost most of my time due to social media im a serious addict and over the youtube for last 10 years. i wont completely agree youtube as useless... most of the useful...

I've experience sleep problems before, i noticed that i've insomnia problems about 7-14 days after a serious PMO relapse. I relapse so bad in the last days of 2018 so now that i'm triying to do NoFap again i am getting terrible withdrawal symptons, the most notorious is insomnia and anxiety...

I believe it has ruined my life...I have no friends...NO Job.. Its been 2 years I am graduated from my university (also faced great great difficulty in completing my studies)..and unable to secure job. Got scare because of the interviews \ insult... unable to focus on anything. Unable to sleep...

I'm 19 and a virgin. I normally have a habit of sleeping on my stomach with my penis erect and foreskin pulled down. Whenever I sleep, I think of my crush and fall a sleep quickly. But from last week I've not been getting an erection when I go to bed which causes insomnia. So I have to force...

I'm about to complete 30 days on hard mode and since the beginning of the 3rd week I started to have severe sleeping problems. Even after a tiring day in College and working out I can't sleep at night, I feel my body and mind exhausted but I just can't sleep. It also happened last week, when I...

Hi everyone, It's actually been quite a while since I've posted on here ... years to be exact. I have always struggled with PMO and MO and have tried, at various times, to either cut back or quit all together. Alas I find myself back here again after experiencing some apparent side effects...

Anybody experiencing problems with sleep? It's been six days of my hard mode journey and I can only get a few hours. Has anyone else dealt with this, if so how did you combat it? Open to all suggestions and replies. Thanks for reading? 6 days down a lifetime to go, taking it one day at a time!

Ive been struggling with masturbation addiction for about 6 years. Unfortuately, I've came across porn since I was 13 years old and have been jerking off for the past 6 years of my life. I knew it wasn't good for me, but I failed Everytime I tried to abstain from the addiction. Here are some of...

Feel free to add your own tips This will not include the basic tips such as light, meals, temperature etc. You can find that help easily on the net Tips on sleep: It's not the lack of sleep that hurts you, it's the worrying about it. Winding down in the evening is very important, don't do...

Importance of sleep: I have noticed that if I do not get a good night's sleep, the discretion & control power of the mind reduces. It is perhaps well known that lack of sleep can cause irritability for anyone. What it means for a NoFapper is that there are more chances of anxiety/frustration...

Hello people I am 16 yo boy. I am suffering from so many things that I literally think I am going to kill myself soon. I suffer from acne, hairloss, seborrhoeic dermatitis (dandruff), anxiety, headaches all throughout the day and exhaustion. I can't sleep well and I'm always worried. So my...

I take half a lorazepam before bedtime to help me sleep. I found that if I don't sleep well in the night I'm more likely to have an anxiety during the day. Does anyone use a sleep aid? What is the pros and cons of it?

Yesterday marked my first day of my current streak and last night I only slept about two hours or so. I tried desperately to get back to sleep for hours but could not manage it, and decided to stay up even though I felt rather tired. After I ate some food however I’m all of a sudden feeling as...

Hi advanced Fapstronauts! So, basically, after reaching my goal of 100 days streak, i felt like i should give it a try and see where i am with ejaculation, and sex in general, because i feel like i should have a wife and not be single. I hoped to see improvement with my post ejaculatory issues. Of...

Hello everyone. Sorry for the wall of text. My name is Zack (not my real one). I am new to this forum, altho not new to Nofap. I've been following it for 3 years or so. On and off. The first time I heard about it, it made a lot of sense. I saw it on the Great Porn Experiment on youtube and...

I am new on this site. I am a single italian boy. My english is bad. I need to match with other boys like me. I decided to stop view porn on line (I used porn 3 times in a week during evenings before go to sleep) 5 weeks ago. I decided to stop masturbation 4 week ago. After a week without...

I am currently about 65 days in and I seem to be going strong throughout the flatline. I think I learned to stop my brain from thinking and fantasizing and it also appears that I have unlearned to touch myself when I am horny. It appears there has been so much progress since my previous 120 days...

Since I reduced porn and masturbation a lot, my insomnia has worsened (could be coincidence). I tried different things: -just try to sleep even when not tired (laying in bed awake until morning) -staying awake whole day and then until evening (doesn´t fix sleep pattern) -experimenting with...

I have never really been good at getting sleep. Even as a child I found it difficult. Perhaps I am a person who tends to mull over things in the head, when it would be acceptable and wise to let it be. Not getting sleep has been one of the main triggers for my PMO behaviour during the years...

I don't usually have problems during the day, but at night. I find it almost impossible to fall asleep without getting off, no matter how tired I am, or exhausted I am from working out. I've tried to suppress it, but I'll lie awake till 3, 4, 5am and my body refuses to shut down unless I get...

So I've made it to day 11 for the first time! Having very intense fantasies, doing my best not to get carried away by them. I've been feeling increasingly speedy over the last couple days, and also having intense insomnia, waking up throughout the night. Although my MO addiction was never too...

Hi everyone, just to give you an update... I'm past half of 90 days no PMO mark now (57 days) and I'm sorry to say, I still feel like shit. Headaches are gone but general tiredness and anxiety still persist on daily basis. Insomnia combined with morning oversleeping is worse then ever. Funny...

What's up guys. I decided to improve my sleeping. I researched a lot today and decided to compile all the different advices in a thread to help myself and everyone else: If you got some killer advice not on the list, please share it. Here we go! PLANNING Plan a schedule and stick to it. Have a...

Dons of nofap, So I'm on day 50. The first 2 weeks of my journey were incredible. Amazing energy levels, motivation, glowing skin, confidence, better eye sight, appetite improvement, an overall sensitivity to the natural things in life. I felt pure, awake and alive. I would fap generally 2 times...

This is my day 4 and I have noticed that I'm having quite a bit of insomnia and overall a ton more energy. I went from M about 10x a day and 2 of my last four nights, I have only slept 2-4 hours and then when I go to exercise at 5:30 AM I am full of energy and I have had some of the best lifts...

I always had problems falling asleep, it takes me hours. When I'm asleep I wake up at the slightest noises around me. I wanted to try: - turning off my digital devices two hours before going to sleep. - Not eating two hours before sleep. Any other tips? Or corrections on my ideas?

Hi everybody. I'm 37 and I'm here because I really need help. I have to admit that I have a serious problem with masturbation. I've suffered from depression and anxiety, and unfortunately there's a strong link between those problems and masturbation. I'll try to be concise since my story is too...

Hey guys, Over the last 20-25 days I haven't got much of urges and i have successfully/somehow managed to get away with them. But another thing that has bothered me more is my restless mind. Thoughts keep on racing in my mind and it makes me feel so sleepy and low in energy and I further fuel...

Past the first week and feeling strong. Except for some problems sleeping, maybe because I used to alway fap before bed. Or it could be front my crappy work schedule. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

Lately I've been having a lot of difficulty falling or staying asleep. This isn't exactly a new issue for me but it seems to have become more severe over the past few days. I was wondering if the reboot might be affecting my sleep patterns? Or would it be unrelated?

Good afternoon/evening/morning/night fellow Fapstronauts, I hope you're all doing well and starting the New Year strong. I unfortunately have already gotten off on the wrong foot. My longest streak was the beginning of last year. I made a NY resolutions to stop playing solos on the Devil's...
