[/INST] Thanks for your query in Chat Doctor, ya it is common in your age group doing masturbation i.e. what you call hand practicing. But it will not hinder any of your growth. The only way is to divert your mind towards your studies or other works. Play outdoor games like cricket, shuttle etc., your body will get exercise and because of it you will get good sleep and don't think about it while sleeping. Practise the above steps you will gradually get rid of it thank you </s>
