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.
