How often do you wake for a wee in the night?

[readingmakesmehappy]

I wake up at least once a night, sometimes twice. Without fail. It's super annoying. I don't drink tea after lunch (that just made me wee more) and try not to drink too much water in the evening, but still. Obviously when I was pregnant it was even worse.

Pretty much never.

I've always done this, even from quite young. So annoying! Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 wees before I can finally settle for sleep. (Mid 40s!)

Late 40s, one wee sometimes 2. It's annoying and reducing liquid dosent seem to help

If I've been at work then I'm usually dehydrated plus go to bed quite late, so that can be up not at all and sleep right through til 8 or up once. If I've been home all day and drunk tea I can be up three times in the night.

I have a downstairs bathroom which makes it a pain, but the dog needs letting out several times a night anyway, so it's not so terrible. But I do get annoyed some nights when I've only been in bed for a couple of hours, have just got into a nice sleep and - whoo, need a wee. But I'm at that age (64).

As a general rule none, but if I am woken up through the night for whatever reason (DP gets in from work, the cat jumps on me, or DD wakes me up) I always go for a wee.

Two or 3 times. I'm 65

I never have. At 58 I'll wee before bed, about 11.30, get up around 8am and have a cup of tea, put a load if washing on and feed the animals before I wee!

I'm the same OP. Always at least once, sometimes twice and occasionally more.

Having said that I do drink water through the night. And I do think sometimes when I wake up - I'm a light sleeper- I psychologically need the loo rather than physically.

You're lucky.. on average 12 times..
My bladder never grew from being six years old
. It's now prolapsed ( waiting for operation) I have stress incontinence too.
Tried botox and medication nothing works.

Some nights once, other nights I'm up every two hours

In my 50s, generally once or twice a night. Minimum 6 times if camping with no easy access to a toilet.

Oh gosh that must be an absolute nightmare for you!

Never, unless I'm ill (cold/flu) and then I need to constantly.

Never until my late 40s
Now, 50+, once a night.

At least once a night.

Funny I was going to start this thread. Once usually around 4am. I’m 44. I’d say up until I was late 30s no times

Rarely, only if I have had too much wine. A doctor told my husband if you don’t go to the loo in the night you are most likely to be very dehydrated.

7 or 8 diabetic got to mention that at next review.

Always between 1.30 and 2.30am. Then again between 5 and 7am.

Usually none, I’m early 50’s

I pee loads during the day

Rarely. Maybe once a month? It's usually that something else wakes me then I go while I'm awake

At least twice...sometimes three or four times. This is since menopause hit and I've had night sweats...🤦‍♀️ I wake up constantly and if I'm awake, I need a wee...I try and ignore it but that makes it worse 😨

But even before menopause it was at least once! I even have 'wee dreams' which are awful, where I'm dreaming that I'm desperate for a wee, but either can't find a loo, or the ones I do find are very public (open) or filthy dirty/broken, so I have to keep searching, and I'm getting more and more frantic! I always wake up just at the point where I'm about to have an 'unfortunate incident'! 😨

In real life, if I was THIS desperate, I'd just do a 'wild wee' 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

Never, and I drink lots of water. No caffeine after about 4pm though.

Are people not exhausted from getting up night after night?

Almost never. I'm 53. I didn't when I was pregnant either. Unfortunately ddog has started quite oftwn waking wanting a wee in the night though, so my sleep is disturbed by someone else's bladder!

Usually once, sometimes zero. I'm 50.
