    Melatonin is good for sleep. There is also a type of tea called 'Skullcap' that helps with insomnia issues. Both solutions are natural, maybe give one of those a try?

    Thanks bro, I will. I've also heard ZMA and Glutamine can be good for sleep? I just have so much energy, it's unreal. I'm usually drained.

    Despite extreme situations - it's nothing to worry about. It's actually a good sign from you brain. Looks like communicate - "Do something about it. Use that energy in your favorite way. I have it much more I need to use in processes". I don't know how your daily activities looks like and if they have changed since you do NoFap.

    One week, 7 days passed quicker than I thought :) :) :)
    Mainly I owe it to this forum and amazing replies from which I can learn and also my completely different perspective on that case than it was on previous reboots.
    I suppose now from experience that second week is always hard for me. But I will treat it the same as my 7 past days. Everyone, update your condition whenever you want. That's useful for others and for YOU because you don't keep that as something negative in your body - especially when nobody knows about your challenge - you just exhale it like breath.

    @Human Lab-Rat One mistake is not a sin and nothing bad. It just shows that next time you can solve the problem in different way. Natural process of healing, I think.

    Melatonin is good, I heard Magnesium is good for sleep because it calms nerves down, I know that some tea helps to sleep also. What does help for me, because I do have insomnia also, is exercices before bedtime, like 1h before! Also someone told me about meditation and breathing techniques that is suppose to work.

  11. I feel like I entered a cheat code. I'm far too busy to masturbate and am in a public area all the time, here at school. The only temptation is the occasional urge to sneak at peak at some porn while no ones around.

    I am wondering if this is a way to beat an addiction? It's like I am being forced to not p and m and it is usually far from my mind. When I went through my initial army training I did neither, then, too for like six months. But then the first day I was out I looked at porn and masturbated. But then, too, at the time I was not thinking of it as an addiction and was unable to discern how much of my new strength came from the training or the lack of masturbating. I know some guys who quit smoking because of BCT. No cigarettes in BCT. They realized they didn't need cigarettes anymore and so never smoked again when they got out. I hope that will be the case for me. After all of this law school stuff is over, I will realize that I don't need porn anymore and just never look at it again.

    Absolutely, that's the whole point of NoFap. Getting to a point where you are too busy to fap. Meant to be living life and achieving goals or having sex instead of fapping.

    Just managed to resist my first strong urge to masturbate since starting. It was a good way to test the Tibetan rites about which I posted earlier today. I did the sixth rite thrice and it went away instantly! May be a placebo, but who cares. The point is it worked! The trigger was a "normal" image of a girl I saw on Facebook. I will further limit the time I spend there.

    Oh no, not sleeping is a trap. I had a mate in my first year of uni last year, same classes with me. He wouldn't sleep t the beginning and jerk off every 2-3 weeks. He was just Fed up in such bad ways. His only making up for it was that he's a very social, sanguine temperament/personality. But otherwise, his energy/eye contact/mental concentration/magnetism/etc were like he fapped every 1-2 days.

    And yes, he would would not sleep for 2-3 days and see I cannot sleep and that he's full of energy. But in truth his magnetism and eye contact were weakened further, his skin was shiny (oil, embalkment....probably the cells are dying/decaying) and he thought he has energy. It's like an illusion. You get used to that state of mind and energy of body and well...it's an illusion.
    I know it sounds like pseudo-science, but it's real, if you can make yourself normal and then find a subject to observe then.

    So today is day 10 and interesting things happened. At first I went to bed at 11:30 p.m.. Thats very unusual for me - usually I went to bed between 2-4 a.m. Then I slept 11!! hours with the most craziest dreams I ever had. Since three days they become crazier and more realistic than ever. So I wrote the first time in my life my dream on a piece of paper. I will start a dream diary, because I must use this chance of remembering everything in my dreams.
    Yesterday evening I felt lost like many times in my life, but NoFap and the thought that everyday I beat an addiction and become stronger kept me hopefully.
    Oh and I was four hours doing organisation stuff and so on that I didnt do for weeks. Without NoFap I would have procrastinated that.
    Keep on guys! I wish you the best.
