Waking up because of FULL bladder during the night... losing a good night's sleep?

Question

I know it's normal for a lot of people to wake up and have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night... but a lot of times I don't wake up until I really HAVE to go, to the point where my bladder is stretched to the absolute limit and a few drops (or rarely, more) are starting to leak out. What's really frustrating about that, though, is that my body often gets a huge adrenaline surge when this happens (probably because it's trying really hard to make me wake up before i wet the bed!) and then after i hit the bathroom i'm WIDE awake, and sometimes can't get back to sleep for an hour or more!

I'm only in my 20s and in good health... i know i don't have diabetes or prostate issues or anything... just a bladder that's never been able to make it through the night! Any ideas on how i can at least get a better night's sleep?

(and yes, i already know not to drink too many fluids before bed... this can happen even if i don't drink anything at all after 6 pm!)

Answer 1

I think there might be a bladder problems, there is such thing as a weak bladder, where sometimes people can hold on for ages and other times they can't.

If during the day you need to wee and you hold it until your busting and then you go, it is really bad for your body, and if this is the case, your body might have gotten into thinking that it is normal for it to be that way..so your body may actually be thinking it is doing the right thing by holding on, but really when you feel the slighest feeling of i need to pee then you should just go.

Also it may be about what time you go to bed, if you go to bed heaps early (such as arond 7) your body may need to pee during the night, as to when you go to bed at about 9 or 10, and you pee before bed, your body may not need to go.

But i think you really should have it checked out and try to train you body into thinking it is not good for you to pee during the night.
