    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 addicted.

    Is this going to be better? Other Members of this Community already told me, that this will be a painful time.

    Yes, it will be better as you go on with your NoFap journey, sleep disorder is one of the withdrawal symptoms.

    One more thing, you may feel masturbation will make you sleepy so you can fall asleep easily, but that's only part of the whole picture. Masturbation depletes your energy from within, as one keeps on doing this, this may cause negative impact on various parts of the body and health in general. Some people will have their nerves impacted (neurasthenia), causing sleep disorder. If that is the case, it will be another story, where one would feel even more difficult to fall asleep after masturbation. I have experienced this many times in the past few years. Therefore, don't rely on masturbation to make you sleepy.

    Here are some ways that may help you to get a sound sleep:
    • Do some exercise in the daytime. (Of course, don't overdo it)
    • Regular sleep and wake up time. (I recommend 22:00~05:00)
    • Eat less for dinner.
    • Avoid drinking too much water hours before sleep.
    • Use less electronic devices at night (or adjust the screen brightness if you must)
    Going NoFap is never easy, but I can promise it would be worth it. Wish you a successful journey!

    Bro, you need a backup plan. Sometimes, I feel really horny that I am sure I might relapse. So instead of go to bed, I may take a walk or write something to distract myself until my body is too tired to be horny

    It is completely to experience such feelings especially if you've been on porn for a long time and if it's your first time attempting to abstain.

    But you know it indicates two things that you should be aware of :

    Porn is truly a drug, and it certainly is not as non-harmful as you viewed it
    Second thing, is that you should aim to do something about it and change your life
