Why Porn Is Wrecking Your Sleep (Even If It Feels Like It Helps)
But porn helps me relax. Yes, orgasms do release hormones that make you feel tired. But what's likely happening is that you're also completely exhausted from watching porn and flooding your brain with so much stimuli.
And now it's negatively affecting your sleep. And so talk about a double whammy. Plus, if you think that using porn is the only way to fall asleep, it's likely because your addicted brain is so used to doing it that you don't know any other way to rest.
But you know the story, you know what happens after, you know the guilt and the shame that you feel, you know how it adds stress to you instead of calm and the relaxation that you're really after.
