Sufficient sleep is essential to health. Research has shown that insufficient sleep which can be caused by porn addiction can lead to increase cortisol levels
Cortisol, also known more formally as hydrocortisone (INN, USAN, BAN), is a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland.[1] It is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoids. Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis; suppress the immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.[2] It also decreases bone formation. Various synthetic forms of cortisol are used to treat a variety of diseases. (Source: Wikipedia: Cortisol)
Essentially that is saying that sleep depravation caused by porn addiction can lead to suppression of the immune system and decrease bone formation. And porn addiction is now promoted by the wide availablity of porn via the pervasive Internet. All you need is a computer, mobile or otherwise, and all those porn on the Internet will be easily available to you.
These are all avoidable health hazards solvable by getting sufficient sleep, but if you are addicted to porn, for better health, we need to know how to overcome internet porn addiction.
