I have been mastirbating at least 5 nights a week for the past year. Just now dared to even Google it let alone speak about it.
So this is very unsettling to say the least.
After it wakes me, either right before climaxing or afterwards. I then am rushed with adrenaline, shame, anxiety etc and this makes it hard to fall back asleep for hours or even at all.
Im exhausted, confused and ashamed.
PLEASE HELP
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with that. First off, sexomnia is fairly common and not your fault, so you shouldn’t have to feel shame for that (I know that’s easier said than done).
Insomnia is generally the result of other underlying psychological or physical issues, including stress, sleep apnea, alcohol use, and much more. I would bring it up to a doctor or therapist and try to get at the root of the issue.
Well done for mentioning. It’s really ok and if you are worried about it you can see someone. No need to be ashamed.
