lack of sleep

[Woodyfr]

hi guys it’s been interesting to read the posts it now day 7 of being circumcised walking around easier and sensitivity easier now wearing briefs but my question is I’ve not been able to sleep well since the op and last night started having erections which made it uncomfortable what can I do to limit it happening as it makes me nervous about going to sleep please help

I am going through the same situation. I try and sleep on my side.

Unfortunately it's normal, I had night erections that hurt for maybe 10 days and after that it started to get better... I was also nervous when I'd sleep knowing that at some point I'd wake up from the erections and I did wake up around 2 times per night from it, but I'd simply take deep breaths, wait for the erection to go down and then simply go back to sleep. It won't last for too much longer. The good news is your hypersensitivity is almost gone. I'm 4 weeks post circumcision and still have extreme sensitivity unfortunately.

Something cold will gently ease your erection, keep a glass on your bedside table (doesn't need to have anything in it, it will automatically be colder than you) and hold it against your penis. When we get 'stuck' in things A&E nurses use ice cubes to shrink the beast down to size. Of course, it won't stop you getting the erection in the first place!

All good advice above. Also if you lie on your side and pull your knees up towards your chest in the foetal position it makes the erection easier to handle

I was the same... don't drink water after 6pm, drain your bladder before going to sleep, set an alarm to wake up around 2 or 3am to go for another piss, sleep on your side with your knees up to your chest. It worked more than it didn't. They'll still wake you up sometimes, but needing a piss will stimulate a night boner and the steps above can help limit needing a piss and thereby the boners. You got this
