Insomnia since I stopped PMO... How I can fix that?

Rake up the patience to read a good book.

 

Pray to god

Have physicall activities/ reading some books

Drop ur phone 1 or 2 hours before sleep

Turn off the lights

Do not have a sexual fantasy or try to remember pornographic scene when u try to sleep!!!

 

You can't. Accept it as a small part of the process while you figure out the rest of your life. Once you build more positive life activities and hobbies the insomnia goes away naturally.

 

3 hours is not ok and should this persist you should see a doctor or psychologist about it.

Insomnia however is to be expected as masturbation is a very powerful sedative and the body got used to sleep with it. It's like when you take melatonin for a long time and then stop.. the body is not used to go to sleep on it's own.

 

You should be tired after a few days of only sleeping 3 hours a day, so able to sleep better after that? if it persists for more than a week definitely see a doctor. I only lose a few hours sleep when I have a severe urge, but I sleep well on other nights. I never used masturbation to sleep though, so I don't have much of an issue

 

that last point is not a great one... the more you try not to think about porn when trying to sleep the more your brain will focus on it. sometimes you just have to lie there and accept the urges until you fall asleep. good points other than that though

I think the key is not to "not think of porn", rather to acknowledge and observe the toughts, and focus on breath or something.
If you observe rationally, you detach emotionally.

 

for the short runs yeah maybe

For the long run, hell no !!,,, u can relapse by simply fantasy abbout porn and make ur sleep less quality

 

This. I had issues to fall asleep too. For various reasons. Yes stopping MO (if MO was part of the going to bed ritual) will make it harder to fall asleep.
But keep in mind that coincidentally there might be other reasons for this in parallel; If it continues for a decent amount of time, you mental health may suffer a little bit, due to sleep deprivation. As ULTRAFAB mentioned, don't hesitate to talk to a doc about it. That may be a game changer for you. Good sleep= better energy and mood. You may have less tendency to suffer if you sleep better, as a general statement.

 

try valerian root, it will take a few days or a week to act but has no side effects and addiction risk and also do not panic, sometimes when you quit PMO it's a normal thing to have insomnia, i had a lot, sometimes i couldn't sleep at all (3 hours would have been awesome!!) but i've got through it. also try to stay away from all electronic devices and blue light at least 2-3 hours before your sleep time.

 

I’ve started taking Ambien at night, I don’t drink or take any drugs now. I must say it’s helped, I know I’ve gotta cut down soon, then stop at some point in near future, but it’s giving me some breathing space, I felt like I was going into psychosis from the withdrawals from dopamine, S addiction
Man, I’m totally shocked at the length and severity of pmo/S addiction withdrawals
I’ve done pretty much most drugs in my life, from cannabis through to heroin,
This is the worst withdrawal I’ve ever had

 

So this is why I can't sleep well.

 

Try yoga before bed i am going to try it

 

Burn more energy during the day and stick to a strict lights out routine.
