Poll of the Day > I hate nights when you are in a piss cycle

(+) Yeah! (+)

You are thirsty at night so obviously you drink something. Then you wake up having to go to the bathroom, and once you do you are thirsty again. But if you drink some water you are going to wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom again.

The only way to stop this is by waking up in the morning and going about your day

Have to stop drinking early before sleep

Same problem though, if you are thirsty theres not much of a choice

Try to have better bladder control?

How can you have bladder control when you are sleeping

Is that a serious question? Literally everybody who can get through the night without pissing themselves does.

Having to go to the bathroom does not mean you dont have bladder control. In fact it does mean you have bladder control because your body is telling you that you have to use the bathroom instead of doing it for you.

I never suggested you didnt have any (though you suggested that nobody does while asleep).

However, better bladder control means you can hold it for longer before having to relieve yourself.

In all seriousness though, if youre struggling to get through the night without getting up to pee, go and get your prostrate checked.

I thought you meant something else by bladder control because you cant knowingly control your bladder while asleep.

This happens after nights of a lot of drinking, especially in the summer when its hot. So its easy to see where it comes from.

And Im talking about drinking water by the way, but alcohol is probably worse because its a diuretic

My original comment was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek. Apologies if that didnt come across.

But Im more serious about this bit: go and get your prostate checked.

I know nobody likes the idea of having it done, but its not normal to not be able to sleep through the night without getting up to go to the bathroom at the age of most of the users on here, or at least not so regularly that youd make a topic about having to get up multiple times.

I stay hydrated and I live in the tropics, so if its not a problem for me, it shouldnt be such an issue for you either. Get yourself checked out mate. A little prostate growth as you get older is normal, but it could be something more sinister.

Yeah happens to me to TC.
Usually if I have to much salt, my body decides to release all it's water.
And I'm required to drink 3 litres a day, so when it decides to do that, it fucking sucks. Like every 20 minutes your back with a full bladder.

I've drank like 5 beers so I'm gonna have a piss cycle.

But Im telling you, this does not usually happen at least for me. It happens sometimes after nights of a a lot of drinking. I actually dont know if it would be made worse in the summer because you would drink more then but you would also sweat more out. But then once you wake up and go the bathroom you can be in that cycle. If you drink something its normal to have to go to the bathroom if you do nothing but sleep because your body has to get it out somehow. But even then sometimes there is no cycle and you make it to the morning normally after going to the bathroom at night. So what you are saying may help some people but it isnt really relevant to what Im saying. I looked up the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and this is the only one that is relevant to me at all.

Yeah thats happening to me a lot lately. Getting old sucks

Might want to get checked for diabetes if you're peeing that much.

Bro how are people not reading that this is a temporary thing with a very clear cause

I guess its not temporary for a lot of people

is the pee frothy

I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night maybe 5 times in an entire year. I have no idea what you're talking about.

It has been when I had a full bladder

TC brewing bladder beer at night

Yeah. This has gotten worse the older I get. Ive started limiting myself to one sparkling water before bed but yeah, sometimes youre thirsty. Plus, if I have to go at all, its hard to ignore.

i drink lots of water throughout the day but i stop drinking 3 hours before i sleep, sometimes i take a sip, but i make sure i let it all out and pee one last time before i actually sleep

Ive been having that issue as well. Getting old sucks.

go tell your doctor that your piss is frothy

Looking it up I think dehydration is a much bigger factor in making the piss frothy. It is always really dark yellow when this happens, and I know that is something to avoid.

if you're pissing often in such a short time frame such as sleeping, it ain't dehydration

Im not saying this all happens at once.

Why are people here trying to be my doctor

Foamy urine is often a sign of protein in the urine. Minor causes include dehydration, stress, exposure to cold temperatures, fever, and heavy exercise, but if it continues for a long time, this can be a sign of kidney disease.

But what if you're stressed for a long time
