During the teenage phase, everybody experiences sudden changes inside the body as well as outside. These changes being uncomfortable, initially often creates confusion and instills a sense of awkwardness among the teenagers. One of the many new things males often face is the condition of nightfall.

What is nightfall?

Due to the hormonal changes happening inside the body and the physical changes happening outside the body the condition of nightfall occurs. Because of this, young men often face increased uncontrollable sexual urges even while asleep. Sometimes because of this sexual peak, even their dreams would be adulterated with sexual thoughts, causing an involuntary ejaculation in their sleep. This whole phenomenon is associated with nightfall.

Reasons for nightfall

Apart from the uncontrollable changes happening to the body which causes emotional changes too, there are other factors too that contributes to nightfall. The easy access to sexual content on internet and television causes the young adults to constantly be in loop of such thoughts. Apart from this, sex being a taboo in the society also causes the young minds to be uncomfortable discussing their problems with the adults.

This causes the spread of rumors and wrong knowledge among the youth and often corrupts their minds and sometimes causes them to indulge in wrongful activities. Also, stress and restlessness, especially at nights can cause nightfall.

Symptoms of nightfall

Nightfall involves sexual peak, especially at nights and can normally occur in individuals of all age group.  The symptoms may vary from individual to individual and it is not a disease condition. Rather it is simply a natural phenomenon that occurs. It does not weaken or taint the personality of anybody, rather if talked to adults or doctors, they can be properly treated.

Treatment

The treatment of nightfall would depend on the individual seeking help.

1. Changing the lifestyle and having a proper balanced diet can contribute in decreasing the effects of this condition.

2. Including physical activity or any kind of short exercise or aerobics, on a daily basis can help improve the condition.

3. Also, yoga and meditation is encouraged among the individuals suffering from nightfall.

4. Including habits of reading good books and indulging into social work can be of help too.

5. Most important of all, seeking medical advice or reaching out for help, especially from adults and doctors is essential during this stage.

6. Like most of these conditions, it is all in the head. Reaching out to people who would give proper advice and would genuinely help out is important.

With proper counseling and with simple changes in the lifestyle, nightfall can be completely dismissed. Also, staying away from individuals who spread false facts and myths regarding this condition is necessary. Spreading correct knowledge and reaching out to people who may be undergoing nightfall should also be encouraged. Having healthy interaction about sex among new adults should be encouraged, instead of shunning it away as a taboo.
