Okay, be honest. How many times are you getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom?

[-]

Used to be up once or twice a night, then I started mouth taping at night. Game changer. I need to pee far less often and my sleep is better according to my tracker. Apparently breathing through your nostrils modulates the hormone that controls diuresis. Look it up!

Weekly_Push2499@reddit

I used to get up 3–4 times every night and thought it was just ‘normal aging.’ What surprised me was that small evening habits (like timing water, salty foods, and screen use) made a huge difference.

Maybe once in a night, but not every night. I used to have a dream that I was in a building trying to find a bathroom and then wake up and have to pee. My brain is very literal, I guess.

small___potatoes@reddit

Just mention you’d like to be tested for sleep apnea at your next physical or family dr appt. For me, I just wore a monitor overnight at home. Didn’t have to do the sleep study somewhere else.

I found out I was average 27 “arousals” per hour (not the good kind). After CPAP I’m averaging 0.7 per hour. Sleeping much better.

[-]

Objective-Dust4795@reddit

I did the at home test. And showed I had mild. I got a dental device and it fixed my snoring and sleep apnea. I really did not want a CPAP and I’m in the lucky few who can use the dental device to fix mine.

For the first time in my life I’m hydrating properly. At least a gallon of filtered water a day, plus tea (quit coffee and sodas). I get up to use the bathroom on average 2-3 times per night.

neogrinch@reddit

That's about how much I drink a day as well. I've always drink a lot, though even when younger. Always found it strange that some people have to force themslves to drink enough! my pee always has SOME light tinge of yellow in it, so i'm clearly not overhydrating (completely clear pee).

[-]

PilotC150@reddit

That’s not normal. Might wanna ask your doctor about that.

[-]

mnfimo@reddit

I dunno why you’re getting downvoted. Multiple times a night is not normal and you should definitely go to a doctor. Might be a sign of diabetes

JamesMattDillon@reddit

Because everyone's body is different. 2-3 times is okay according to their doctor. And I don't see where they asked for anyone's input

JamesMattDillon@reddit

Well since my doctor said the same thing, after seeing the x-rays and everything. They did say if I have to go more then that, to go back. But since you know more than my doctor about my lab resultsand my body, go off I guess

eLishus@reddit

Good for you getting proper hydration. I drink about a gallon a day, too, so I’m usually up 1-2x/night. However, I’ve noticed that what I eat for dinner can heavily impact that. If I have a big meal, or something that’s heavy on meat and salt (like a gyro), then I get incredibly dehydrated and need to drink more during the night. I’m less getting up to pee than I am getting up to hydrate. But because I’m drinking more water through the night, definitely peeing more. This is why I’ve found vegetarian meals a little more appealing as I age: they’re easier to digest and I tend to sleep better.

[-]

I started CPAP therapy this year for sleep apnea. I went once or twice a night before that. Now I still occassionally wake up to pee, but I actually sleep through the night quite often nowadays. I thought it was normal ot wake up once or twice to go to restroom, but apparently, its not.

😂 I pee a lot at night, but every time I get up, I drink more water because I am always thirsty, so I wake up 1-2 hours again. Rinse and repeat, but I refuse to stay thirsty. I thought maybe it's a diabetes thing, but I had my fasting blood test and my doctor said nope.

GonnaGoFat@reddit

It depends on when I sleep. When I go to sleep at 10 or 11 pm I tend to wake up at least once and it’s sometimes twice now.

But when I go to bed at 4 or 5 am I sleep uninterrupted.

I think part of it is that I’m a night owl and that when I go to bed at 10 or 11 my body would much rather just stay up. Also I’m sleeping lighter as I’m afraid I’ll end up sleeping in and be late for work.

When I go to bed at 4am it’s a time I’d rather sleep at and also since I don’t need to go to work for hours I sleep deeper as well.

None. But I don't get enough sleep and I'm paranoid about wetting the bed after an incident 20 years ago. You know that dream where you have to pee really badly, but stuff keeps happening and so you can't, and then you finally get to relieve yourself in the dream and wake up in a puddle? We still have a waterproof mattress pad on the bed at all times. The absolute last thing I do before going to bed is pee. Even if I did it before I brushed my teeth. Only getting between 4-6 hours of sleep a night also helps.

wex118@reddit

It used to be at least once or twice for me. Then my wife got to the end of her wits with my snoring keeping her awake and convinced me to look into a cpap. The Dr explained to me that when you have sleep apnea you don't ever get into full deep sleep, which means your body never completely shuts down it's systems and continues to produce urine (among other things). She told me to expect less trips to the bathroom throughout the night while using the cpap, and she was right! There are still nights when I get up once, but never more than that, and many nights I sleep all the way thru. And bonus, my wife is much happier!

I’m not sure why but about six months ago I simply stopped needing to pee in the night. I used to if I drank anything within a couple of hours of bedtime. Usually once overnight, maybe twice.

The only thing I can point to is that I’ve made a conscious effort to hydrate more throughout the day, so maybe my body’s overall ability to make use of liquid has been increased and I’m less likely to just purge it? It’s the only theory I’ve got.

Fabulous-South-9551@reddit

Last night was 3 but I did have a liquid IV, an iced espresso and 2 cups of tea which I don’t think is necessarily a lot of liquid but my bladder likes to stay at dangerously low levels of hydration it seems.

I take flomax, which is the only med I take and only one I’ve taken in 20 years. And I follow (not always, I’m human) a protocol I saw on YouTube from some pelvis doc or something- who called it 3-2-1. No food 3 hours before bed. No drink 2 hours before bed. Attempt to void 1 hour before bed. I’m exhausted, I fall asleep and I get up whenever I get up and stay up.

Once

Usirnaimtaken@reddit

None, unless I chug water before bed or something wakes me up. My husband rarely gets up either.

[-]

phoenix0r@reddit

Once, usually at 3am with the adrenaline surge. Thanks changing hormones! Ugh. Sometimes I don’t even pee more than a drop or two. My body just goes into hyper mode and makes me think I have to pee and also lay awake for the next 2 hours.

[-]

Moon_Noodle@reddit

Several, but I'm not waking up to go to the bathroom. I'm waking up because my cats are being dicks and I drink a lot of water so I may as well go pee anyway.

[-]

queenquirk@reddit

2-3

[-]

cjthomp@reddit

None. Even if I wake up overnight I just roll over. 🤷‍♂️

[-]

njeske@reddit

Almost never. But based on the other responses I might consider myself lucky.

[-]

BackgroundPrune1816@reddit

Most nights I can get through the night without waking up to use the bathroom.

Rarely. I can’t recall the last time.

[-]

DURKA_SQUAD@reddit

i force myself to do the near sleep tinkle and I'm usually good

[-]

Rosserman@reddit

Normally zero, but:

Once if I've had a beer or a glass of wine.

2-3 times if it's Fri or Sat night and I've had a few.

[-]

Bigd19_79@reddit

Once im asleep, I don't get up until I wake up for good

[-]

OutcomeLegitimate618@reddit

Depends on how long I get to sleep. Every 1.5-2 hours. If I'm exhausted when I go to sleep I can make it 3 or 4 hours.

[-]

ken830@reddit

Zero. We're not that old.

[-]

supergooduser@reddit

Usually once, it's not that bad. I also don't regulate my hydration, it's 11pm right now and I'm still chugging water.

I saw a sleep scientist talk about it and waking up a little bit isn't too bad for you.. it's sorta built in like "hear a noise look around, we good? yeah we good. Go back to sleep"

[-]

Honest_Flower_7757@reddit

Once, maybe twice. Heavy hydrator in general and I also run at least a few miles every day but I would rather have too much water than not enough.

[-]

DistractedByDumbShit@reddit

Some of ya’ll need to get checked for Diabetes.

[-]

Prestigious_Kale5546@reddit

Was 2-3, but now just once. I met with an NP about a month ago and she put me on BC for me endometriosis and also recommended I take Melatonin Extended-release. Once I’m done with the bottle of melatonin, I’m going to try Cherry juice. It was recommended by a pharmacist. You drink about 4oz twice per day and it’s supposed to help with sleep.

[-]

TK1129@reddit

Once a night a few times a week. I’m 41 and drink a lot of water and a few cups of coffee a day so that’s probably it

[-]

Careless_Lion_3817@reddit

1-2 x a night. Female. Been this way for decades…as soon as I made sure I was drinking a ton of water (but I also exercise a shit ton). I feel like given my age and liquid intake…1-2 times a night isn’t bad

[-]

Independent-Win9088@reddit

2 to 3 depending on water intake that day.

[-]

burnitdwn@reddit

Thanks metformin for keeping my glucose in check.

Sometimes I wake up after 3 hours with abdominal pain and can't get back to sleep at all though. (Thanks metformin, grrr)

[-]

tragiccosmicaccident@reddit

I was there as well, unquenchable thirst and nightly trips. Put myself on a glp1 and it got a lot better.

[-]

tragiccosmicaccident@reddit

Once a night, maybe twice a week. I like drinking water at night, sometimes I overdo it.

[-]

Patient_Character730@reddit

At least once, most nights twice. I find that exercise makes me sleep deeper so I am less likely to wake up, but even with exercise always once.

[-]

YouHadMeAtFacts@reddit

I used to get up at least once, but once I got my CPAP, I sleep all night.

[-]

Spartan04@reddit

None, unless something else wakes me up and then I'll go. Even though liquids tend to go through me pretty quick when I'm awake I've thankfully avoided having that issue at night so far.

[-]

AcadianTraverse@reddit

Yeah. It's maybe once every couple months here.

[-]

CBakIsMe@reddit

Usually once. I have been trying recently to not drink anything too close to bedtime, and that seems to help me sleep through the night.

[-]

HildeFrankie@reddit

Once...or twice. Mostly because I am horrible at remembering to drink water during the day and I have a bad habit of chewing ice right before bed.

[-]

Taskerst@reddit

Between zero and one

[-]

Squirrel_Master82@reddit

Usually, I sleep through the night. If I forget to go before bed and I drink too much water, I'll wake up like an hour or two after falling asleep and have to go. But it's not a normal thing. Maybe a few times a month.

[-]

NotRadTrad05@reddit

Normally 0, 1 if I drink.

[-]

TheHoodieConnoisseur@reddit

Zero. Bladder like a camel.

[-]

JollyJeanGiant83@reddit

Once about 2/3 of nights. About 5 minutes before my alarm the others. I take a pill that causes dry mouth and the mouthwash isn't very effective for me, so I drink a lot of water with Mio.

[-]

Apprehensive_Hat8986@reddit

Anywhere between none and three. Probably averaging around 1.

[-]

Aught_To@reddit

1

[-]

tryingisbetter@reddit

Almost never if I am asleep.

[-]

Platt_Mallar@reddit

Once, sometimes, twice if I drink something just before I go to bed. If I get a migraine, I might have to pee several times though. I dunno why.

[-]

primabelladonna35@reddit

Generally none. Sometimes once if I drink more than a few sips right before bed.

[-]

Racacooonie@reddit

Zero or once, usually.

[-]

tremendousbrunette@reddit

Usually one time. I stopped checking the times but I tell myself it’s only midnight to make myself think I still have 5 hours of sleep!

[-]

One_Market_9335@reddit

4 or 5 😣

[-]

Fun-Preparation-4253@reddit

80oz minimum a day. Once a night. 44m

[-]

xenniac@reddit

None tbh. I stop drinking liquids excessively a couple hours before bed and just have some sips. I pee right before I turn off my lamp (11ish) and sleep through until I get up to feed my cats at 5. When I also chug water and pee. I drink a metric crapton of water during the day, but this works for me.

[-]

saltybruise@reddit

I drink a shit ton of water every day and play beer league hockey late at night which means I chug water at like 10-midnight 3/4 nights a week. I get up to pee at 4 am pretty often. If you're peeing more than once a night talk to your dr.
