Jeffrey Jaime explains how porn addiction disrupts sleep cycles when people use masturbation as a sleep aid. The dopamine hit impairs daytime focus and productivity, creating a cycle where anxiety and poor job performance drive more use.
If you're stuck in any brain speed, you're not using circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms is. Your brain is supposed to flow throughout these states throughout the day, and then you would become naturally tired in the evening. But people use porn and masturbation as their sleep medication. Porn's ramping up. The lack of focus from the inside, those are internal triggers. Now you go to work and you can't produce. I had one client where he knew he was going to get fired because he had to meet a quota, and he just couldn't even think enough to meet the quota, which then, of course, his anxieties ramped up, jumping up. So basically, it's things from the outside, things from the inside that then trigger you to go back to the screen for dopamine. It's always like something's happening to me. I've conditioned my brain to get a lot of dopamine from sexuality to feel better.
