In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank breaks down one of the most overlooked weapons in porn addiction recovery: sleep.

Not rest.

Not relaxation.

Strategic, optimized, performance-level sleep.

Frank reveals why sleep is the foundation of discipline, willpower, emotional control, and neuroplasticity — and how the lack of it leaves men vulnerable to cravings, relapse, and identity drift.

You'll learn seven science-backed strategies for rebuilding your sleep, restoring your mental clarity, boosting testosterone, and strengthening your ability to lead yourself like the man you were created to be.

If you want to enhance discipline, reduce nighttime urges, and rebuild your identity — this episode gives you the exact blueprint.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Sleep is not a luxury — it's a weapon in recovery.

  • Deep sleep restores discipline, decision-making, and self-leadership.

  • Neuroplasticity — the rewiring of your brain — happens during deep sleep.

  • Low sleep crushes testosterone, motivation, and masculine drive.

  • A consistent sleep cycle stabilizes dopamine and reduces cravings.

  • Eliminating nighttime screens dramatically reduces porn urges.

  • Morning sunlight regulates your circadian rhythm and boosts melatonin.

  • Hard physical training increases sleep depth and hormonal health.

  • The optimal sleep environment is cold, dark, and quiet.

  • Brotherhood and accountability make transformation sustainable.
