sleep

TL;DR BELOW Hey everyone. I'm struggling from a weird type of addiction which I can't find anyone having, so I thought I'd talk about it here. Firstly, I'm a new member so forgive me if this is the wrong place to create this thread. I currently do not watch porn and have gone for a lot of...

Okay, brothers, I am a little worried but at the same time calm because I know that through this thread some of the most experienced people on this topic will be able to resolve my doubts regarding supplementation with sedatives and tranquilizers during the abstinence period. This is my case, I...

Hey guys. I was on day 45 (I quit porn over a year ago but kept masturbating to porn memories until recently) Then the other day it was very early morning and I was in one of those half asleep/ half awake moments. I remember being voluntarily chasing sexual thoughts, but no touching of any...

Hey, I woke up after only 4 hours of sleep last night and the night before that. same with my friend. strantge no? and i woke up fresh and didnt go to bed late or anything, just wondering how is that so. perhaps the moon or something with the atmosphere here. any ideas?

hi, 20m here; I occasionally sleep naked (no clothes but wearing underwear whenever I'm uncomfortable or hot in bed). I switch between wearing pjs or not depending on what I'm feeling; now, last night, I had a wet dream, but I also remembered doing it to myself? Like almost consciously making...

Sturuggling to wake up so 5 am give tips.

Hey, everyone. I have been on hardmode, semen retention for more than 100 days now(110 to be precise) with complete lifestyle change, including dopamine fasting, qigong, cold showers et celera., and i have been dealing with this issue for the last maybe 10 days when i go to sleep around 22 - 24...

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...

Hey guys I did a 230 days streak and relapsed a month ago Since then I get morning wood only if I jerk off the night before sleeping This seems very weird to me Why is this happening? Can anyone please lmk?

Hey all. Been going through a stress full time and wet dreams have become more regular thing. But they also become quite physical in way they weren’t before, with stopping in sleep, wanking and humping the bed ( which has kept my roommate up) through this he also ended up seeing my dick when...

Hello I would like to talk about something thats causing me problems or in other words leading me to jerk off before sleeping. It is my sleeping postion, in reality it became a habit that I can't sleep without fantasizes then jerking off and the sleeping position is promoting that.... In...

How It Began I am a male, 21 years of age, from Nigeria. And a few days before I turned 21 a couple of days ago, I felt something heavy on me while I was asleep. It felt like I was being pressed down, I lost my voice and my ability to move. I wanted to say "Jesus" but there was no voice even...

I've dealt with vertigo and lightheadedness for years. Doctors have always told me it's anxiety related. My suspicion is that the symptoms came on as a result of excessive p/m/o starting in my mid teens. I've practiced edging for nearly two decades and these symptoms have remained. I notice that...

I'm madly in love with my new lady. But she lives so far away. We have plans to move in together but it's gonna take some time. Every time I'm lying in bed, my imagination launches into fantasies about her. I am careful not to touch myself, but it goes on for hours. I can't seem to think about...

so today while sleeping i had a release just before i woke up. i came to my hostel room from my morning theory classes and was tired af and slept for like 2-3 hrs and when i was about to wake up i felt myself releasing. its not like i was intending to....neither did i have any sexual dreams. idk...

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...

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 I am 17 and started masturbating last year when I was 16. Ever since I started masturbating I have gotten some sleeping issues: -Nightmares every night since I started masturbating -Constantly waking from sleep after couple of hours of sleep -Difficulty falling asleep -Sometimes I sleep...

One of the symptoms I have gotten ever since I started PMO a year ago when I was 16(now I'm 17) was Chronic fatigue and worse sleep and feeling tired no matter how much I sleep. I have also noticed another thing which happens to me sometimes, I would sometimes wake up after going to sleep and...

I have been having mad difficulty sleeping lately, I think it’s because my brain thinks that I need to use in order to sleep I think this is what’s really killing me from quitting entirely Because I don’t really use at any other point in the day or as many times throughout the day like I used...

So here is the current scenario with me. 1. My internal clock is messed for the longest time, Like i fall asleep really late around 3 to 4 some times 5AM. 2. I can do with 5 - 6 hours of sleep. 3. I have tried to go to bed at early like 10.30 to 11 etc but all the time its mostly me changing...

Focus on work automatically my day ends with good night sleep.

I went 32 days without touching myself. This is a huge accomplishment for me since it's the longest I had gone without touching myself, including edging (I had gone on longer streaks without orgasm but still edged) This morning, I was dreaming about being in a public club type of venue and I...

Hey, so this is my second night on NoFap and it was painfull. I usally masturbate every evening to make myself sleepy and my body was waiting for that. I was starting to have Fantasies about Sex and even more about the True perverdet nature of my current mind. This is a true sign that I am...

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...

Hey guys! I have completed just 2 months now of not fapping to pmo but when iam very horny i engaged into Mo but im totally free of PMO. First when i quit pmo in starting i have severe sleep problems.Iam having heart palpitations and blood pressure also my bp is high for an whole 2 months then...

I've been doing NoFap (again) for a month now, and literally 15 minutes ago this happened to me, i was taking a nap after school and had a dream that i don't even remember and i frigging came (not precum as it is when you have wet dreams, my clothes are a mess) ... I wasnt even horny or...

I never slept on a bed. Always on the floor until this year I bought a big bed because I had a girlfriend but we broke up a week after I bought it. Now I have this big bed I don't use. I sleep in a big closet that is sound proved and extremely dark. I guess I like it because It reminds me the...

Last night after falling a sleep I woke up in the middle of the night again but as soon as I closed my eyes, I began getting attacked back and forth by porn flash backs and even sexual thoughts out of nowhere which would catch me off guard so right now I am wondering....does that count as a...

Counter:384 days no PMO, semen retention. I have lucid dreams since I can remember when I was 7 years old and I was trying to escape Freddy Krueger in my sleep haha My father likes lucid dreaming a lot he gave me books and teachings about the subject. At age 12 and until 24 years old I was...

I’m going to describe the situation fully so possibly trigging. So today after I woke up at 6 I fell back asleep on my side. Probably around 9 ish (that’s when I started to wake up) I had a dream where I was bouncing on an exercise ball & imaging I’m having sex as a woman. During the dream I...

Hi guys, So I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, it's certainly self improvement and related to the circadian rymthms, so if this isn't the right place I hope the moderators will place it in the correct place, thanks in advance! Around the same time that I started PMO in my...

did you ever think about how much time you spend doing PMO? I've read stories of people edging for hours! you've probably read stories about people who do PMO when they should be doing other important things, you're probably one of these people, so I'm going to focus on me I usually watched P in...

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 friends. I have been having dreams now non stop for 4 days in a row. Two days ago those two where wet. Just wondering if any tips on reducing the intensity of these dreams or avoiding them. And also when did people start noticing the dreams reducing frequency. I have been wearing loose...

Hi all, I posted this on my my recovery journal, but wanted to put the question out here a little more publicly, to hear if anyone had further opinions. Thanks in advance to anyone who has advice! ------- I'd love some advice on something: As mentioned above, yesterday (day 4 of no PMO) I had...

Hello guys, repeatedly have I noticed that abstinence from masturbation after week or two leads to shorter sleep cycles. Do you experience the same thing? Instead of 9.5 - 10 hours i regularly sleep 8 hours and even wake-up without alarm. Sometimes in less than 8 hours. And i feel perfectly...

NoFap community your views and opinions may be helpful here. While you are on nofap and you have a nightfall that is not considered a reset. Issue I am facing is when I have a nightfall I end up waking up right after it and while I try to go back to sleep,I fantazise myself having sex...

Good evening, I am doing NoFap since the 15th of May and I wantend to talk about this with someone. After every two weeks i get nocturnal emissions for multiple days and even two times in the same night. I tried to stop sleeping at my stomach and started sleeping on the side or the back, but i...

I spent more than 120 days no PMO, I had some problems on the way, however when I arrived I failed 5 days in a row. Every time I masturbated, I felt very sleepy afterwards. It seems that I lost my motivation, how can I spend 120 days hard and fail miserably 5 days in a row? I need some purpose...

I've found out that regular sleeping schedule is the single most important thing for self improvement. Of course a good life needs a lot more than that, but it's the thing that allows those other things. Okay this is my own experience, but science still claims that regular sleeping schedule is...

I feel like I have mono or something. I'm just chronically tired and fatigued. I found that by sleeping 15-20min naps help reboot my system. So I take them almost everyday. (I've read that each sleep cycle is ~20 mins; to avoid your brain from entering deeper sleep, have shorter naps) I've...

Hey everyone. I am my 24th day of NOFAP. I have found that I sleep way less at night. From a guy (PMO), who used to go sleep at 5 or 6 am in the morning and wake up at 2pm in the afternoon to a guy (NO PMO) who goes to sleep at 11pm. It has become a habit for me to go to bed within 10:30. I...

Well, this is my 3rd time with NoFap. The first 2 times i fell with 5-10 days. The two first times i was anxious with the minimum days to reboot. I think this was a bad choice for me. I'm on the 3rd time right now and registered only the day i started again. It works better for me not counting...

After couple days of nofap I start to randomly wake up during night and sometimes I can't instantly go back to sleep. It disrupts my sleep patterns and doesn't have very good influence on my energy during daytime. Anyone had similar experience?

Guys I cannot stress this enough. SET A STRICT TIME TO WAKE UP AND ABIDE BY IT. I have basically programmed myself to wake up at 0600 every morning which means that I must go to bed at 2200 the night before. My body clock is on board with these times and their calculations. If I do not wake up...

I am a changed man after these 77 days. I feel terrible today. I know a lot of people say that wet dreams don't count as a relapse. But, this was different, hear me out, it was morning and I was asleep dreaming about fucking a supermodel. Normally, I have so much control over myself, but I was...

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...

Hey guys, quarantine has been pretty hard in itself to continue my NoFap journey, but I've noticed that I've been fine for the most part throughout the day. I find things to do to keep me occupied, and I don't fall back into PMO. But when it's time for me to go to bed, and it's just me and my...

On the topic of productivity, I have been analyzing a trend as of recent. I am caught in a cycle where I jack off by means of procrastination. It is a vicious cycle as I do it by dint of not addressing the big task at hand which only gets bigger the more I put it off. This makes me work past my...

So this is the third day I had a wet dream and when I woke up I was still hard. There wasn't a a great amount of ejaculate compared to the other day. I didn't feel any pleasure as I was in a deep sleep so I tried to get back to sleep and hopefully ejaculate the remaining part during sleep again...

What can I do to prevent or minimise wet dreams? And is it true that wet dreams do not bring about a dopamine release in the brain?

I have many failed attempts to quit PMO. The reason I failed was I peeked over some nudes or some porn sites. Now I find if I feed my brain little thoughts of sex or some images of any kind which gives me pleasure I would eventually relapse. This time whenever I have negative thoughts (saw some...

I've been flatlined for a few weeks, so I'm still learning to deal with the emotions, the depression, the lack of energy, and lately the struggle to get a goods night sleep. I keep waking up hours before the alarm. I set my alarm for 5:30 last night, and wake up at about 4:30 this morning with...

I had a dream , this is the second day in a row, where I was dreaming about watching porn. I woke up with my hand in my underwear and an erection. I guess that my mind is so accustomed to masterbating that I am beginning to have dreams now that I’m abstaining. Any suggestions to prevent this?

It's haunting me and comes out of nowhere. Sometimes it happens when I sit at my desk at work. But most often it happens at the exact moment I am falling asleep at home. The feeling itself is terrifying. It feels as if the entire room is rotating and as if I am on the verge of fainting... but...

I had a perverted dream a few days ago, i really didn't want it and i had it accidentally, subconsciously, i really don't want to count it as a relapse and i am interested if i can go on like this. Does it actually count as a relapse?

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...

Before going to bed at night, that's a little hard but I can control myself here. But when I wake up in the morning, before I know it my hands are in my pants, and I hate this. Aside from this area of my life, I've completely eradicated masturbation (except occasionally in the shower, but I feel...

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...

sexomnia. I made another thread a few min ago. Sorry if I'm breaking any rules. My addiction of 15+ years has manifested as unconscious physical activity. What started out as solo PMO and seemingly harmless teenage activity. Has now become a home wrecking danger to my children. My wife has...

Have you ever wondered if you sleep late at night maybe at 2 or 3 AM. You are more likely to masturbate. I used to note down when I M so usually it's late at night. Sometimes I used to see porn all day. But morning was fine I didn't M even if no one is at home. Then I started waking early in...

Starting from today, I forbid myself from using any electronic devices when I reach home from work/school. I've been relapsing mainly during late night as well as getting insufficient sleep. This is due to my horrible habit of mindlessly scrolling through the internet with my devices especially...

Science says that constantly watching many Hours of porn while fapping might not be good for the function of the brain and cognitive functioning. Watching many porn movies distracts clarity of thought and concentration, but I think that's a Problem with Smartphones, Computers, and TV and...

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...

I occasionally have dreams of watching porn, like many others who start rebooting. Sometimes I become aware of the dream and manage to steer away from that stuff, but other times I am a passive spectator of this content in the dream. They often don't even end up in a wet dream, so it's like my...

Hello ! I am 26 and trying to quit porn for almost two years now, during the day it doesn't really happen to me to go on porn. The issue is : between midnight or 1 am, I wake up from sleep and cannot prevent to pick up my phone and check some porn Web site. It's like I have an excess of...

That's right, you heard me. This thread is for the people that really want to be in-control of their life. If you're fine with life just the way it is, then GTFO. If you're a wuss that doesn't want to get up before the sun, then go back to bed sleepy-head. Look at some of the worlds top...

Hey everyone, for the past couple of months I've been becoming more tired, sleepy, and unmotivated. This is despite the fact that I have been getting like 9-13 hours of sleep every day. Not only that, but my sleep schedule is extremely inconsistent. Any advice as to what I can do to increase...

I am tired of not getting sleep properly. Don't know why this would happen. At night time while trying to sleep, I sleep for some time but after I awake and then not able to sleep again. What could be the reason behind this?

I have a hunch my relapse is related to my sleep deprivation. If I could get stats on this, we might get a better insight into the problem. So kindly vote and comment on the results once they reach maturity. Thanks Edit: I think it would be better to ask, How many hours do you sleep on the day...

Time after time this has not failed me once, when your heart races for stimulation, when you become jittery from desire and frustrated with no exit door- you just need a nap. 10 of 10 times I fell asleep within seven minutes because that was what I really needed. You wake up forgetting what...

Usually when I was mastubating, I slept always around 8-9 hours! But when I'm on nofap (semen retention) I only sleep 7 hours, sometimes even 6 1/2 hours! :emoji_sleeping: Is that normal or is something wrong? I'm 15 btw.

oh my god its 1.30 AM in here and i dont know now im aslept or not but my dick get hard from the bigining of night and i wannnt sleeeep but it come up and go down for itself this nofab program is shit

Do people have problem with sleep when they go nofap? I relapsed after nofap for 20 days. During those 20 days I couldn't sleep more than 5 hours. Is it normal? Would people advise weaning vs cold turkey ?

Hi everyone. Just over three weeks of the reboot and it has been going quite well, lots of urges, but in control. The last couple of days I have been having trouble sleeping as I would wake up at around 4am with massive morningwood and then struggle to fall back to sleep. Obviously this is a...

Hey, so I got no trouble with my alarm clock when I have to get up and have to do something early but it’s the days that I have no responsibilities that I have trouble with. I still want to wake up early and get stuff done. I find myself subconsciously turning off the alarm on my phone and just...

Hello all, I haven't posted until now but I'm pretty shook about this. I'm about 7 days in and had multiple nightmares last night, all deeply terrifying. When I'm not on nofap I don't dream at all. But now that I am dreaming it feels like a curse with these nightmares. I had one where I...

Hi Guys What have You noticed about the subject? Did your sleep Quality improve after 90 days or is it worse? Regards Philipp

Hello guys. I'm on my third week in Reboot (No PMO). I've been having a lot of trouble falling asleep at nights. When I don't need to show up for work or school, this has been causing me to sleep until noon. I really hate that. Is it common in the early stages? Best regards!

Hello, I am a 20 year old male living in Texas. I have been on NoFap since late September. I've had some bumps in the road along the way, where I quit the day counter for edging, but I have not O'd voluntarily in quite a while. I have never made it this far on NoFap before. I have never been...

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...

Hello, NoFap community. Thank you for existing. I must say first that this community helped me a lot in the past 2 years while I am trying to reboot. I have been an active member for a year now, and I have made very good progress. For a guy who watched porn many times per day, sometimes even...

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...

I`ve been through trouble with lizard for more than a year now!. initially, I hate looking into a lizard (It`s skin, texture, color) looks gross!. Though I managed to overcome a fear of lizards, now I`m able to even closely look at lizards. now the problem is I used to hear the sound of lizard...

I want to go to sleep always before 10 PM, 11 PM if my current job makes me finish later, but overal at least before 12 AM. Let's track my progress: < 10 PM = 1 point < 11 PM = 0,5 point < 12 AM = 0,25 point Every Sunday, I'd divide my score by 7 to see how I'm doing. I'd put the daily amont...

I`ve been experiencing lucid dreaming for so many times. my first ever lucid dreaming was held in 2017 October. Now I`m able to identify the circumstances and people among the sequence of a dream. Even i could rise question in between of dream.. but the question is how do i utilize the lucid...

Today ive come up with an interesting question when i was in deep state of meditation.. we are quite familiar with lucid dreams.. the dreams that we can take control of it.. so we could do whatever in that sequence, even some people are able to resume the same sequence of dream again and...

During my 12 days abstinence and my ongoing 14 days challenge, one major aspect I've observed is the sleep rhythm of the body is back on normal. The melatonin levels I guess have stabilized and the sleep wake clock is functioning successfully. I know PMO can give you a good sleep but one...

I personally haven't had any bad experiences out of it. It happened a few time to wake up,unable to move and stuff but nothing else. Haven't seen or heard anything weird. How about you people? Can it be that bad as some claim? Write down your experiences. ( if you had any )

Hello guys, as a part of my self-improvement regime I regularly listen to lectures, positive affirmations, helpful tips and anything you can think of of that kind.Listening to them at night is said to be very effective because even asleep you still register every noise on a subconscious level...

I have been rebooting since 2016. I am in a better place than I ever was. I have a job, I am financially stable, I am going to school next year, I will get a car soon(end of the year for sure). I am confident to say I left porn behind September 2017, I have not watched it since and do not plan...

I'm just unable to sleep without masturbating. I just find it impossible. Is there any way to combat this?
