Do you wake up to go toilet during the night?

[changingchaali]

Just wondering really.
My friend thinks I have a problem because I wake to go wee during the night. I've always done it. Not an age thing but I drink loads of water during the day
She reckons she never has the urge and can sleep for 12 hours
I also remember my ex never getting up to wee either
It's fine right? Please just tell me she has an iron bladder lol

Sorry didn't mean to offend. I was genuinely suprised. Really sorry if it came across rude xxx

Ive always woken at least once for a wee. Always have done

Yep, every night.

I drink about 3-4 litres a day though. Mostly water (and a few cans of beer on the weekend)

If I don't drink anything for a couple of hours before bed then I won't need to but sod that!

I never do and never have. I didn’t when I was pregnant either - I woke up lots then, but never because I needed a wee.

I drink lots including lots of coffee, lots of water and lots of alcohol depending on the way.

I often don’t get loo breaks at work either so it’s not unusual for me to go 8-9 hours without a wee in the daytime.

Maybe I am also a camel.

Don't be rude here. 3 l was my average since young years. I drunk from half liter glasses. I don't go around and sip constantly though.
No top trumps. It's just how much I drink🤷

I haven't suggested 2litres is an unachievable amount in one day to consume....🤔

I drink around that if not more most days between cups of teas, coffees, herbal teas and water!

Good grief, what a pile on! I honestly wish folk on MN would stop looking for constant faults to pick pick pick! No need.

Everything seems to deliberately get taken the wrong way....

I didn't know that about sleep apnea! Useful to know as I was recently diagnosed with it. That explains a lot, as I'm always waking up needing the loo.

@Vettrianofan

perhaphs look at your own posts before criticising others.

No, never.

Rarely

On a bad night it can easily be 3 times I need to get up. It seems to be I'm thinking if I've had a couple extra cups of tea than I might usually drink as I do love a cup of tea and also it seems Apple Juice makes me need to go more.

Yes, I do. Sometimes once, sometimes more depending on the fluid intake before bed. If I drink tea before going to bed then I'll wake up more than twice. I can't remember how it used to be when younger, but I think I have always gone to the loo frequently at night. I used to be a night owl so going to the toilet during the night was pretty normal.

I usually need to go if I am disturbed.

I very rarely sleep through, most nights the dog or hot sweats wake me and I need to go. Sometimes it can be 3/4 times during the night.

Yes and always have

Yep. I'm 27, wake at least 3x but can be more. Thought I had diabetes for ages. Had all blood tests and gp says it's irritable bladder or something. Very annoying

I'm 20, don't usually.
Do if I've been out drinking (no I don't usually do that these days!).
When I was first living alone and had been out drinking, I famously fell asleep having a pee. My friend said "well you were in the right place for the next time your bladder woke you".

61 and only if I eat 2 or 3 portions of fruit! Otherwise no.
