Are nocturnal erections necessary nightly to determine erectile health?
If you get nocturnal erections only 4-5 times a week is that normal in your 20s? Some days I wake up with no erection and I have a feeling I didn’t get an erection the entire night. Is this a sign of physical ED? Or can anxiety lead to no nocturnal erections as well?

I guess most men do not know when they have nocturnal erections. It may depend on dream quality. I guess stressful dreams may kill erections but dream researchers do not seem to monitor this.
Anxiety can definitely affect whether you get erections. It is normal that you don't remember having one. As they age, men tend to get less spontaneous erections. Adolescent men typically wake up every morning with a hard erection, and as they get into their twenties it happens less, and in adulthood it may be even less.
