to go to the loo every night before I get into bed.

[LuluJakey1]

Last night DH said 'Why do you always go for a wee before you get into bed, even if you only went half an hour ago?'

Doesn't everyone? He thinks not- he doesn't. I have done this since being a child. On the rare occasion I haven't done it, I don't sleep well. My bladder feels irritable in bed if it isn't empty. I have to get up in the middle of the night then.

Today, SIL comes round and he asks her if she always goes to the loo before she goes to bed and she said no.

Am I just odd?

sorry posted in wrong thread!

Another one in the 'thought everyone did camp'.

Even if my DD says she doesn't need one before bed/long car journey, I always tell to "try and squeeze one out". Invariably she does.

I thought of this thread while I couldn't sleep last night.

While I was lying down my bladder was saying "I'm really full, you must go to the toilet now". When I got to the toilet it said "Ha ha fooled you, there is nothing there." This was repeated quite a few times, until I coughed.

I met up with some friends today and told them about DH's comment and out of the 4 of them, 3 said they always wee before bed and one looked at us as if we were strange and said 'Why would you go to the loo if you don't need to? I wouldn't think of going if I had just been half an hour before'.

I dd an experiment last night and went half an hour before I went to bed and not again. I could not settle in bed and ended up getting up after midnight because it just did not feel right and I couldn't get off to sleep. It is a physical feeling - I have to feel like my bladder is empty when I am lying down.
