Has this ever happened to you?

I´ve had a very difficult time with insomnia during my journey, but I always assumed it was on account of three or four major factors:

1. My wife was not here to give me my "sleep medicine."
2. The bed was empty, likely disturbing my sleep somehow.
3. I had no pre-sleep massage, as at many times before, to help me relax.
4. My emotions, with every thing else going on and the lack of any physical affection in my life, were in turmoil.

An orgasm does certainly help me rest well at night under usual circumstances. But, not having had one of those in months, I´ve had considerable difficulty sleeping. My sleep schedule has become one of basically sleeping whenever, day or night, that I´m sleepy/tired enough to do so. As I´ve entered the three-digits on my day counter, it does seem that I´m able to sleep longer than before. In the beginning, I´d go to bed at around 11 p.m. and wake up at 2-3 a.m. being afterward unable to sleep. Three or four hours a night of real sleep left me feeling constantly fatigued, which contributed to my emotional instability and to my brainfog, or so I felt. The sleep has been getting a little better, but the lack of physical affection having nearly reached six months now of living alone, has reduced my emotions to near apathy. I don´t know, maybe it´s just depression. I´m not too tempted to M, though, as I know this would make me feel far worse. It would certainly do nothing to improve anything.

 

Bro yes totally relate! I have had a much harder time sleeping throughout the whole night during NoFap, It sucks being awake in the middle of the night with a boner cuz the temptations be REAL. I'm thinking bout getting NyQuil or something, or maybe taking a hit from a wax pen before bed to fall asleep better.
