What is nightfall?
- Nightfall (also called wet dream) is when a boy releases a sticky white fluid called semen while sleeping. This can happen with a dream or without remembering any dream.
- It is a normal body process during growing years. Many boys experience it in their teens and sometimes later too.
Why does nightfall happen?
- Growing up: During adolscence, the body makes more hormones. The body also starts making semen regularly.
- Body’s cleanup: If semen is not released in the day, the body may release it at night during sleep.
- Dreams: Sometimes the brain has exciting or random dreams in sleep, which can trigger a release.
- Sleep position or pressure: Sleeping on the tummy, tight clothes, or a full bladder can sometimes make it more likely.
Is nightfall a problem?
- No. Nightfall is not a disease.
- It does not make you weak. It does not spoil your health.
- It usually becomes less frequent as you grow older or as your routine becomes regular.
How often is normal?
- There is no “perfect number.” Some boys may have it a few times a month; some hardly ever.
- If you feel fine and there is no pain or sickness, it is usually normal.
What should you do after nightfall?
- Stay calm. It’s okay.
- Clean up: Wash yourself and change your clothes or bedsheet.
- Go back to sleep and rest.
