    Hey guys it's been two weeks now since I've stopped fapping and it's been great so far I haven't even been getting a boner....until last night. It hit me real hard, I woke up in the middle of the night with a boner, I was dreaming about sex and it was a real challenge not to fap and luckily I was strong enough not to. Iam just afraid that this will happen frequently when Iam sleeping. How do you deal with this?

    Yeah dude. Those suck. I've MO'ed twice in that exact situation. They're definitely the strongest urges I've experienced.

    I had to get out of bed and do something to kill the boner. I would get up do push-ups or walk around the house or something until my hormones had calmed down. Being in bed with those urges was too tempting for me so I changed the situation. I also keep the House of Cards "Fuck the Zero" speech next to my bed as motivation to get up and deal with it.

    Thankfully this hasn't happened for a few weeks. Maybe they'll start going away at about Day 60?

    Until then, stay strong and fight it. At one point I would have to exercise (50 push-ups) at least twice a night to fight those urges.

    Good luck man and stay strong.

    Same thing happened to me here. I woke up in the middle of the night and found myself unable to sleep again and also thinking too much about sex.

    The problem with doing exercises is that I worry that it will ruin your sleep even more

    You are stronger then I my friend. I ruined my 30 day and 14 day steaks in that exact situation.
    The best way is to go to bed tired and not thinking about sex, but sometimes I understand, we just cant help it.
    I can recommend keeping water on the night stand, along with some kind of picture, or text or just a reminder of your Nofap commitment(I keep my calender with the days I've gone without PMO marked).
    Having an emergency plan is good too. Turning on the light, heading to the bathroom and washing your face with cold water, if worst comes to worst, have a cup of cold water ready and try to put your penis in it.
    Hope this helps. Good Luck with your journey TwistedLife!

    Maybe find something else to do instead? Like plan what you will do ahead of time?
