4 year old not dry at night

My 4 year old daughter is not dry at night. She is reliably toilet trained in the day, can't remember the last accident. Has been since 2.5 years old. The problem is that she is a very deep sleeper and doesn't wake, not even if she's wet the bed (when we have tried without a pull up). Her pull ups aren't soaked, but they definitely aren't anywhere near dry. I know this isn't 'normal' but is it unusual?

It's very normal for night dryness to be MUCH later than day dryness as it is hormonal.

It's not even classed as abnormal until children get to 7 I don't think

FWIW, nephew, almost 5 still wears a pull up overnight

Exactly what Harrys said although I did help my DD to be dry at night be putting her in a cloth nappy. She didn’t like it, she was 3, but after 2 mornings if having a cold wet nappy on she was suddenly dry at night.

If it’s hormonal though, this method just won’t work.
