Answer 1

One of the main causes of bed wetting in adults is alcohol abuse. Being too drunk to get out of bed, or respond to the signal the body sends when one's bladder is full. Often all these people need to do is not drink as much.

Of course, there are also many people who don't abuse alcohol but suffer from nocturnal urination. There can be many causes, from anatomical reasons, to sleep problems. The inability to control the bladder is a very common condition in a lot of adults. There are even medications available by prescription like darifenacin (Enablex), dicyclomine (Antispas, Bentyl), flavoxate (Urispas), hyoscyamine (Anaspaz, Levbid, Levsin), methantheline (Banthine, Pro-Banthine), oxybutynin (Ditropan, Ditropan XL, Oxytrol), solifenacin (VESIcare), tolterodine (Detrol, Detrol LA), and trospium (Sanctura). Please don't be shy about asking your doctor. With so many medications available, it should be pretty apparent that doctors have heard of the problem often.

P.S. Don't even consider the answer that tells you to take Amitriptyline. It is a seditive used to treat depression and anxiety, and will only make you less aware of the need to empty your bladder during sleep.

Answer 2

It's a lot more common problem than you might think. I'm a guy in my late 20s and still have the same problem, although thankfully it no longer occurs as often as it once did, but it still happens at times.

If you haven't seen a doctor about it recently, you might want to go in just to make sure there's no serious medical issue causing you to wet the bed (like a bladder infection or diabetes), but if you've had this problem all your life, then there's probably nothing seriously wrong with you. Your bladder just isn't able to hold in all the urine your body produces during the night (which isn't abnormal, maybe 20-25% of adults have to get up to use the bathroom during the night), and for whatever reason, sometimes you're too sound asleep to notice that you need to urinate -- and so you just stay sound asleep and wet the bed. This is a frustrating and annoying problem, for sure, but it's just a medical condition and nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about!

As far as how to stop it, or at least manage it -- there's no "magic bullet" that will automatically make it go away, but there are things that can be done to help. First of all, if you drink alcohol late at night, cut back -- alcohol makes you need to urinate a lot more than normal and also sleep more soundly than normal so it's harder to feel when your bladder gets full! If you wait 2 hours or so after your last alcoholic drink before going to sleep, your body will have a chance to get most of the alcohol out of your system and you'll have a better chance of keeping the bed dry. (That means if you get falling down drunk, chances are you ARE going to wet the bed, and there's nothing you can do about it -- your bladder is simply not strong enough to cope with that much alcohol in your system, and unfortunately there's not much you can do to change that -- getting drunk is also not good for your health for many other reasons as well!!)

Apart from the alcohol issue, there are medicines your doctor can prescribe to help your body produce less urine during the night (these are NOT a cure, but can help keep you dry for 1 night at a time, like when you know you'll be sleeping away from home!), and there are also alarm systems that, if used for several months, can train your body to wake up in response to wetting the bed, so you'll eventually learn to wake up in response to your bladder being full before you wet the bed. That takes commitment and you will sacrifice some good nights of sleep at first -- but if it works in the long run the result will be well worth it!

Good luck -- I know this is an incredibly frustrating problem to have, but hang in there! There are lots of understanding people out there who will still like you for you regardless of the fact that you have this medical problem.
