It's a question of priorities.

How many hours did we all spend watching porn?

Think of the time spent working on recovery as an investment against the time wasted watching all sorts of other things.

It's a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Maskim. However my dear Watson, Its not worth sacrificing my ability to function tomorrow for my 17 hour yeshiva day.this is because of 2 reasons. First it ruins a whole day, hard to concentrate, irritable...., alltogether not geshmak. And second, bad days lead to frustration which leads to acting out.

17 hours? Do you commute? Listen on the commute?
Also I know about waking up and functioning. A little.
I dramatize the whole discourse.
I keep calculating the hours I sleep. it gets frustrating. Led to many Shalom Bayis issues.
Once in Israel I went to sleep at 3 AM, woke up at 6, did Shacharis and we went on a 7-hour hike and then came and got ready for Shabbos and had a great day overall.
Sometimes I go to sleep at 10, wake up at 8 and have no energy for the day.
BH now I'm in a good schedule of 5-6 hours sleep, a good pre-neitz run, learning, etc. I worry less about how much I've slept and try deal with the day at hand regardless. 
I think it's linked to Hashem's brocha of the Shemitta year, that the brocha is that the food will be the same amount, just more satiating. At the end of the day, I have no control over my body. But maybe if I'm doing Ratzon Hashem, my fewer hours of sleep will be blessed.

Think about it.

If it's important enough you'l find a way.

You know, you don't have to listen to the whole hour in one go.

I saw something today in a grocery that I shouldnt have seen and it was floating through my head for several hours after, in and out randomly. I was dreading coming tonight because I knew it would be hard to stay clean,however after my night Seder my taiva K'mat dissipated. It's nice to see that learning does help because I don't always feel that it does.

Nice to hear. Try plan for when the learning doesn't help, because that's usually the norm.
