I'm experiencing something kinda strange: I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself masturbating, but it's like I'm only half-aware while it's happening. I remember it clearly the next day, though. This has been going on for about 3-4 months now, mainly during sleep every 5-6 days. I don't feel the urge or masturbate during the day at allI've stopped doing that since a year ago because I'm trying to focus on my studies and stay out of relationships. It's got me feeling pretty down. I really want to stop this unconscious night-time habit. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can manage it?
It sounds like you're experiencing a form of sleep-related behavior, which could be related to your subconscious mind, stress, or other underlying factors. It's important to address any feelings of anxiety or stress and consider speaking with a counselor or medical professional who can help you manage this situation and find ways to regain control over your sleep and well-being.
