Nofap is the practice of intentionally abstaining from masturbation and porn for a longer period of time. In modern society, porn is accessible like never before. There are hundreds of genres, fetishes and other non-natural categories. Each time porn is viewed, a rush of dopamine rewards the brain which will lead to addiction and its effect on the brain is similar to some drugs[1]. This rush of dopamine causes the dopamine receptors to get blocked in the brain, leading to a tolerance[2]. This tolerance will have negative health effects mentally and physically depending on how strong the addiction has delevoped[3]. Porn rewires the brain, leading to even more health problems[4].

Possible effects on Polyphasic Sleep Adaptation
The tolerance to dopamine that porn addiction has created in affected people, will lead to a general loss of motivation in daily life. When sleep deprived during an adaptation, motivation is needed to not oversleep, therefore a porn addiction can cause more difficulties during an adaptation and reduce the chance to adapt to a schedule.
