Hi, for the past 4 months, I have been facing sleep maintenance insomnia, and to tackle that, I’ve been masturbating - I wake up between 3-6 hours of sleep, and I wake up for an hour, then I masturbate and sleep for a sufficient total of 6.5-7 hours

but its affecting my normal life. If I don’t masturbate, I won’t be able to sleep for 2-3 hours ( haven’t tried in a long time )

Hi, for the past 2 months, I have been facing sleep maintenance insomnia, and to tackle that, I’ve been masturbating - I wake up between 3-6 hours of sleep, and I wake up for an hour, then I masturbate and sleep for a sufficient total of 6.5-7 hours

but its affecting my normal life. If I don’t masturbate, I won’t be able to sleep for 2-3 hours ( haven’t tried in a long time )

does anyone know how long-lasting this will be ? And can I do something to speed up the recovery
i don’t want to take any medicine
please suggest anything natural.

Past few days have been rougher than week 2

In the past few days, I’ve been experiencing extreme hunger. I just came back from dinner 15 minutes ago, and I’m already craving another meal.

Apart from that, I’ve been crying a lot. I need to meditate about two-three times to maintain my sanity.

Sleep has improved compared to the initial days, but I’m hoping this phase will pass soon.

If I don’t eat, I feel extremely fatigued, have intense hunger, and almost no energy. I can’t wait for this to end.

I am trying to understand a pattern I have been noticing.
I can get a sudden “brain fog” or off feeling almost instantly from very mild triggers such as:
starting any exercise (even the first pedal on a bike or 1 light rep)
sipping coffee
smelling cigarette or weed smoke
It does not build gradually with effort. It can happen within seconds of the trigger.
When it happens, I sometimes also notice a strange sensation at the back of my head or upper neck area.
A few relevant details:
Resting heart rate is normal (around 60s while lying down)
Yoga does not seem to trigger it in the same way
Symptoms are consistent and reproducible with different triggers
I am trying to understand if anyone has experienced something similar, and whether this could relate to nervous system sensitivity, autonomic responses, or something else.
