During the day I feel amazing, my morning starts off very early with a cold shower, I hit the gym and carry on with my day productively and feeling awesome. When the night comes, however, I am used to my old habits and I do not have that many friends I can rely on to go out of the house on a regular basis. The urges hit really hard when you are done with your chores and just have this "nocturnal prowling energy" if you know what I mean. Could anyone provide tips on how they deal with nighttime? What worked for you? Much appreciated!
I have a stationary bike I use at night to get some cardio in when the urges hit. Any kind of exercise that gets the heart rate up helps me a lot.
When boredom strikes I go to the pub and socialise. I live alone so this is important to me to interact on a daily basis with people.
Do 20 to 30 squats moment you get urges, it Wil tire you down, take your mind off pmo, plus Wil put you to sleep, and and you Wil have a nice butt to show off in few days....
Night has been my biggest challenge area too. I'll usually go hang out with friends, go to the local book shop & read to my hearta content, or barring that, just stay busy with chores until bed time. Usually by 9 I'm wiped out. That being said, there are gonna be times where the urges are gonna hit hard when you are in a vulnerable place. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing nofap. Think of all the benefits that will come in time if you say no to the temptation. Keep repeating it to yourself. Don't give in. Cold water on the genitals works wonders too
great point, i always think i am wasting my money if i go out, but I can not be a hermit!! i have to go out and be social.
I make a cup of hot tea (decaf or herbal, because I want to sleep later) and drink it. It's something of a ritual process to boil the water, steep the tea bag, let it cool, and drink it. That, plus the enjoyable flavor takes my mind off my male parts. It has also had the excellent effect of satisfying hunger, such that I'm no longer tempted to have a bedtime snack. This, along with moderate exercise motivated by fapstinence, has helped me lose 15 pounds and keep it off.
During nofap, I was with my family at seaside. We went to bed late so I didn't pray before going to bed. That night I ejaculated in sleep and my family was in the same room. Since than I pray every night for a clear, lucid and strong mind. Maybe it's placebo, but I don't think so. It's verry efficient
