I think I have just commited a mortal sin. I was lying in bed, and I had sexual thoughts and I sort of entertained them for like 5 seconds. Am I in mortal sin now? Do I need to go to confession?

5 seconds? I’d say no and my priest has said no for the same exact questions.

You pushed them away quickly. We can’t help these thoughts popping into our mind.

Mortal sin is:
Grave matter
Full knowledge
Full consent

I’d mention it at your next confession so the priest can explain and you can trust the priest. Make sure you’re not falling into Scrupulosity

It is unlikely that the scenario you describe is “mortal sin”.

I would recommend you discuss this with your priest so you will have a better grasp of what “mortal sin” actually is.
 
I say maybe.
Ask your confessor to help you form your conscience. Not strangers on the internet.
