I just started here but I've decided to come on after giving in after my longest streak. My main problem is that every time I go to bed, I get urges and keep telling myself, I gotta do it. I can handle the rest of the day so that seems to be my biggest problem at this moment. That and my discovery that I could circumventive the content restrictions I've put on myself.
Don't go to sleep until you're tired, if not exhausted. Keep your phone/computer somewhere away from your bed Take an OTC sedative if you have to
Magnesium is great for sleep. Take some just a little bit before going to bed. I was an MO/PMO sleep routine guy for years. You’re just having to rewire the brain to not be dependent on the sedative effects that ejaculation produces.
Masturbating before sleep is one of the worst habits you can get into. What do you do when you're in an unfamiliar setting where you can't masturbate? You stay up all night, that's what.
Thanks, I've been keeping it straight for 6 days because I'm on vacation. All the walking I've been doing has made me tired which is good.
Hit the gym and train really hard every day. Take cold showers as well. If you train yourself to exhauation you wont think about fapping when you have to sleep.
White noise can also help with calming anxieties. The Atmosphere app allows you to create your perfect mix of sounds, whether it's cities or forests or beach. It's helped me out loads over the years. I also find that good sleep comes from being rested well. Take a look at the 7 types of rest by saundra dalton-smith.
Interesting, I remind masturbate before sleep gave me the oposite effect, If for example I used to masturbate at 11pm then I needed at least 2-3 hours to fall asleep
That happened to me 8 days ago, which made me come on here. I justified it, thinking it would help me sleep but reality hit when I couldn't
