Peeing at Night

I agree that, for some, it really depends. If I may I ask, though, where did you read that stress can cause peeing at night? Thanks a lot and Happy myLotting!

Thanks to that info, now I know why. Stay active and Happy myLotting, renemouche!

AOL.com had an article about stress some time ago. In the article it said that for some people frequent urination can be cause by stress or a sign that you are stressed.

Okay, I'll explain this as clearly as I can, for your sake. One, we go to bed to sleep. Two, some of us get up at night to pee. Three, if you're one of the "some of us," how many times do you get up at night to pee? Four, what do you think causes it? Clear enough?

Once, if I do not remember to empty the darn bladder.

Thanks for the pithy response!

youless, that's really a very good suggestion, especially to those who may have to grapple with this problem on a nightly basis. Stay active and Happy myLotting!

3SnuggleBunnies, I guess it just goes with the territory. Peeing 8 or more times a night sure seems a big deal and perhaps would already require immediate medical attention. Thanks for your sharing and Happy myLotting!

Not 8 times night, exceeding 8 times in 24 hours (a full day including night)

I stand corrected. Thanks for that much needed clarification, 3SnuggleBunnies! Stay safe and Happy myLotting!

I'm really glad that you find the topic interesting, lustig. I feel that what you're experiencing seems to be normal, as you "you drink a lot of water before going to bed." It's also nice that you can catch sleep easily, since any interruption (i.e. going up to pee) wouldn't really matter much. Celebrate today and Happy myLotting!

I usually get up 1 rarely 2 times. And many times it's cause I did drink alot of water in the evening. I too, can get up, and come back to bed and fall back to sleep very easily so it's not that big a deal for me. I get an annual doctor's check up so I know I'm healthy. I guess if it's bothering you or if you can't get back to sleep then you might want to ask your doctor about it. Also I do know that Caffeine makes one have to pee more so maybe too much is causing it and it can also make it hard to go to sleep as it's a stimulant. There are medical conditions called overactive bladder but that is usually in older people and again a doctor would be able to help with that as there are medications for it. My nephew wet the bed til he was about 10 and they gave him a medicine for it and it made a huge difference. Luckily he outgrew it.

Wow, lucky you. At least, you get to "sleep straight" at night, unless, as you've said, your baby wakes up. Do you get to easily catch sleep again, though, after your baby wakes you up? Yeah, I guess that may really be one of the possible explanations why we pee at night. Thanks for your contributing to this discussion and Happy myLotting, Yori!

Are you sure, though, that the only reason why you frequently get up at night to pee is that you consume water all day long? If you are, that's well and good. If not, on the other hand, I feel it will be best if you consult your family doctor about it, just to make sure. :) Stay positive and Happy myLotting, kimandjoe!

i think that water cleanses your system and that is why i do drink a lot haha.. well but don't addicted though,huh!! and reasonably well 4-5 times sometimes or its just 2-3 times.

I seldom get up to pee at night.I really dont want to get out of my warm bed.So I seldom drink anything before I go to bed.You seem to drink a lot before sleep.Are you bothered by having to pee again and again?

Thanks a lot for the relevant explanation, Carolinaqt782! Stay healthy and Happy myLotting!

why not use a diaper so you can sleep well every night.

That certainly makes perfect sense, kenchiprincess. Stay active and Happy myLotting!

Good thing you're able to control and limit yourself to only a pee per night, Ima_C_Suvaya. I wouldn't be surprised if many would like to be in your place. Stay active and Happy myLotting!
