I’m really struggling with lack of sleep due to endless horniness, with my mind constantly focusing on intimate thoughts, finding difficult to think of anything else to allow me to drift off. Either I fall asleep and wake up a few short hours later and can’t get back to sleep, or when I go to bed I end up tossing and turning trying to calm my mind. It’s the only bad thing I have to report on this whole chastity adventure, but I really don’t want this horny inspired insomnia to impact my health or make me so tired I can’t function normally the next day. I’m not looking to go down the sleeping tablet route, but anyone have any ideas that work to send you off to a happy slumber?
You'll be fine... I'm on my second month of chastity and I'm going through the same thing myself. After being locked up a full week (body tends to freak out after 5 days) I get these sudden horniness urges and they wake me up at night. Or if I'm at work, I gotta be careful not to look at an attractive woman the wrong way. At home, it doesn't matter because I'm by myself anyway. As long as I'm able to fight off temptation and not grab the key then everything is fine. I'm on day 9 of my current lockup session and it's starting to get tough, but I'm hanging in there. Point is, give your body some time to adjust and take the fear off your mind. That fear is what's really keeping you up at night. If you can get past that, then you'll be able to drift back off after waking up in the middle of the night. Like I said, it happens to me, so I know this.
I know exactly how you feel. For me it's never subsided if I'm extremely horny it might take hours before I'll finally slip asleep. I've frequently been awake until 5am and have to wake at 8am. This happens both Caged and Uncaged.l for me as I'm a very very high desire guy. My wife on the other hand can fall asleep as soon as her head touches the pillow. My 2 solutions have been thus Really get involved with sexually pleasing my wife (Minimum once a week), The problem here is if she's not in the mood or on her period or is only interested in a quickie. Distraction, I leave the bedroom and go play some computer games, nothing with too much adrenaline like a FPS (First Person Shooter), Maybe a RPG (Role Paying Game) If electronic games are not your thing maybe get a deck of cards and play solitaire, don't have all the lights on just a nice warm light lamp and when you feel calm enough return to bed with the mindset to sleep.
Do anything to wear yourself out. It's it's why the nofap community, and the semen retention community, claim to get more stuff done. Also, I highly recommend meditating to get control of your mind.
We have all been there. Your body will adjust. This is all part of of giving over control to our wives/KH's After 12 years of chastity, I still have a few restless nights putting my cage back on after a break! That never goes away.
Strange, I used to find I couldn't sleep if I wasn't locked up. I was a case of get locked up, get an orgasm or have a sleepless night. The last two are to be avoided because they lead to grumpiness for the next few days.
Well, I'm on my longest lockup so far, 3 weeks and still going, and at least twice this past week I woke up in the middle of the night with a horniness surge and achy balls, but I slept just fine the following nights on both occasions so it's Okay. If it happens again then I know I'll be fine, because I'll make up for the lost sleep the next night. Hope this eases your concerns some if you still have them.
I have been locked on and off for 14 years and still have sleepless nights due to being horny. In fact, I could not sleep last night and am struggling to stay away now. I go many months between orgasms and right now my wife does not want to give me any. However, she is concerned about my lack of sleep so we may change our plans for an orgasm free sex life for me to include an occasional orgasm for me. So far, nothing in the last 4 months.
