To ask how many times you get up in the night (to pee)

[IconicKitty]

I never get a full night's sleep (7-8 hours) without getting up at least once. On a bad night it can be 5-6 times.

GP not interested and I've dealt with this for years. Is this normal for some people?

I've tried cutting out caffeine completely and not drinking liquids for hours before bed. It doesn't help.

To add I don't have diabetes. I've been tested for everything suggested on this thread. I've tried every suggestion on this thread.

Still need to pee.

I never really understand why my general need to pee can fluctuate so wildly for no apparent reason from day to day.

Some days I feel like I'm desperate for a pee once an hour or even more frequently, whilst other days I can go 4 or 5 hours or longer without needing to pee.

I spoke to a friend who is a pelvic physio once about weeing in the night, and she said that for some people, it can be a nervous thing. For instance, even if I wee three or fo

*four times I have to go as soon as I lie down. She said basically to tell myself I don't need to go. Weirdly, it worked and now I can go all night without it.

I go twice. In my 70s, totally healthy

60s even!!!

I am in my 50s and I am an insomniac so am awake for much of the night anyway. But I would still say not at all most nights, but sometimes I will go once.

If I have a cup of tea before I go to bed, then I need to go for a wee in the night. Otherwise not and I am 68 in May and have had three children.

4-5 times a night easy, type 2 diabetic. I really struggle to get up and go to the loo without getting a drink on the way back to bed. A vicious circle!

Its not urge incontinence is it? Could you be diabetic? Any other symptoms of UTI? Any prolapse? How many children you have? Any traumatic birth?

None, I'm 47 had a child. Saying that if I wake which luckily been rare I will pop to the toilet just in case. Talk to your doctor...

Once or twice. I drink glass of water during the night and also before I go to bed.

Usually once around 3am

That's coz I work nights and I'm up with baby and wee so body clock has done that for years so nights I don't work I will still need a wee then

Twice.

I would love to be able to sleep through.

Once is normal . 5-6 times is about how many times I get up, so the same as you. But I've got an overactive bladder and I'm on medication for it . Prior to diagnosis I was getting up 15-20 times so 5-6 is bliss for me.

Once or twice - a year.
Go and see a different GP, or try some of the ideas others have posted.
Do you pee that often during the day? Every couple of hours??

None - I am 43.

Once usually, 2-4am. I'm 48. This has started in the last year or two but I think I'm sleeping badly due to peri and other stresses in my life.
Don't usually do much, but once I have stirred I can't get back to sleep for feeling that I need to go.

I’m 61 and don’t need to go before 6am.

This was happening to me and I think my body just got in the habit of waking at 4am for a wee.

I started to ignore the urge and attempted to go back to sleep.
It was uncomfortable and took about 2 weeks but I no longer wake in the night for a wee.
ps. I'm much older than you.

I'm in my late 30s, two DC and an occasionally dodgy pelvic floor, and I never have to get up in the night to go to the loo. It does sound like a larger issue - that's a lot of visits to the bathroom! Do you go as frequently during the day as well?

Once per night. I was a lot worse though, and it turned out it was because I had a B12 deficiency. B12 affects the nerve endings and a deficiency can make your bladder feel irritated and like you need to keep going to the loo. My problem went away once I started supplementing.

In your early 30s you can train yourself out of it. Had the same at your age or slightly younger - I'd gotten into the habit of going when waking up in the early hours, then couldn't go back to sleep for ages. When you wake up and there's a slight fullness, tell yourself you'll take a little more time. You'll soon find it's perfectly possible to drift back to full sleep from semi-awake.

I think you should go back to your GP, that sounds excessive. You must be exhausted.

I'm late 40s, have had DC, never need to get up during the night.

Usually once, but I work out in the evening once the kids are in bed which makes me thirsty and drink loads so I blame that! I'm your age and 5-6 would worry me
