30s woman, no health problems that should affect this, except maybe PCOS? Surely that doesn't have an impact? Anyway I'm tired of having to get up at night to pee, at least once a night. Often twice. Occasionally three times. I do drink a lot of water and maybe I need to cut it back. I just get tired of getting up to pee every single night. Probably I should have just stuck this in the rant thread.

It is normal if you drink a ton of water. Try stopping after like 7pm.

Have to stop drinking by 7pm and even then occasionally I have to get up to pee around 2am.

Yeah, most doctors will recommend that you either limit or completely stop drinking water after 7 PM for this reason.

I get up one to three times a night for this purpose. You can try timing your water consumption, limiting it to earlier in the evening. I also recommend making the trip to your bathroom quicker (clear path?) and easier to recover from (red or yellow tinted lights or nightlights).

Putting a nightlight in my bathroom helps a lot with getting back to sleep if I wake up to pee.

Once you hit menopause your water intake will have the extra fun side effect of making you swell up like Violet Beauregarde.

I drink 2/3s of my daily intake in the morning and at lunch. And I nurse the last third through the afternoon and early evening. I don’t drink anything within four hours of bedtime and don’t need to get up in the middle of the night anymore.

I do this, too. It does work!

I'm in my 40s and unfortunately, I do have to get up and pee despite limiting my water intake 3-4 hours before bedtime. This is harder to do in hot weather. It doesn't always happen, but if I wake up in the middle of the night by accident (dog making noises) then I'll have to pee before I can fall back asleep. If I don't get woken up, then perhaps I can make it until morning.

40s and I've gotten up consistently 3+ times a night since I can remember. I think part of it is restlessness but I think another part is anticipating period stuff, especially since it was discovered I have fibroids.

As long as your pee doesn't smell unusual it's fine.

Pretty normal. If you are constantly having to get up to pee but then only peeing a little bit, then that could be a problem. But otherwise pretty normal.

Yes. I've had to do that all my life, but it has gotten worse as I've gotten older. I'm in menopause, and I've been told that lowered hormone levels tends to lead to an increase in peeing. Plus I'm losing weight right now, or trying, and that makes you pee a lot too.

For me it is at least 2 times, usually more like three to five.

Yup, normal, I do it all the time. I have enough ambient light going that I don't need to turn on any lights and just get right back into bed and right to sleep again. But yeah, it's normal.

i usually wake up to pee at least once, sometimes twice. if i don't get up to pee, i'll have dreams where i'm searching for a toilet that cannot be found or the toilet is broken/dirty/missing a door on the stall when i do find it.

Almost every night my older sister gets up to pee at least once. I don't have to much, but I have noticed the need to get up and pee disrupting my sleep more often in more recent years.

I stop drinking fluids and wait at least 30 minutes before going to pee before getting into bed for sleep.
