How often do you pee??

Just read that the NHS says normal healthy adults should pee 4-7 times in 24h?????
I'm already on 5 times today and I know I'll go at least twice more so more than 7 times every day definitely!
I don't think I have a particularly weak bladder and drink a normal amount (probably not enough water according to guidelines!).
Should I be training my bladder to hold more?!

I go about once an hour on average during the day and usually get up once or twice a night too 😳

Once an hour during waking hours.

I'm glad it's not just me! I do often get up once at night too.
I think WFH is part of it because in the office it's more of a faff to go so will tend to wait until lunch etc, but I think I still go at least 7 times on an office day!

I can go 4 times overnight, I seem to need to go if I wake up. I’ve been 6 times already today, it’s 2pm and I will go again another 4 or 5 times before I go to bed.

It varies hugely. If I am sitting at my desk working I probably only go every 4 hours. If I am active, moving around and drinking a lot maybe every 1-2 hours.

I rarely wake up to go at night unless I have an infection. Being upright seems to make me more likely to need to go.

I've been twice today and I've been up for 8 hours. Can't remember ever really getting up to use the toilet during the night apart from when I've been pregnant or sick.

Clearly nobody here works in the NHS!

Once on a shift if I'm lucky, yesterday not from 7am-8:30pm!

About once an hour if at home, but if in work once every 2-3 hours. I will also get up at least once during the night.
