I'm really worried about my brother being prescribed this paternia tablet. What exactly is it usually given for? And should we be on the lookout for any side effects while he's taking it?

I've got a really tough situation where I just can't fall asleep without masturbating. It feels like it's become a habit I can't shake, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried exercising a lot to tire myself out, hoping it'll help me sleep better, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I can do to change this pattern? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and better sleep. You can try incorporating activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bed. Additionally, you may benefit from speaking with a therapist or counselor to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this habit. In some cases, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful in changing behaviors and thought patterns.
