[Albion] Having a wee at 3am !

[GingerBeerMan]

30 minutes cardio before bed will dehydrate your body and reduce the need to pee. Make to sure hydrate once you wake up.

I wee once in the morning - very rarely during the night - and don't need to 'go' again until I come home from work, approx 9 hours later.
Might have one before bed, although it's occasional.
Is that 'normal'?
Edit: I'm 62.

Had to get an extra toilet put in upstairs to save going down the stairs at 3am every morning

Not if you're drinking enough fluids, no.

I got up at 3am once and pissed in a cupboard, I was rather drunk and on a one night stand, thankfully she forgave me and six months later married me.

Technically, that cant actually be a one night stand then .?

People in this thread talking about installing funnel systems next to their bed, but the suggestion of 30 minutes light cardo is the mental post

Not so sure, those internet sites have so many videos to choose from that you can end up looking like Popeye.

I went into the doctors as a twenty three year old with a sore throat, he checked my prostate. Did the doctor take advantage of my tight buns? Surely you don't test at that age?

Will use the left hand now and again then to ensure balance.

‘Twas at the time, I made such a good impression…
22 years later, she still goes on about it, surely she can let it go now.

I’m 70 and rarely have to get up in the middle of the night. normally need to go at about 6.30 to 7ish
just lucky I guess.

There’s some really interesting research into how you breathe while sleeping effects your need to wee.

I can’t remember the exact articles but some Googling finds lots about it -

Does disturbed breathing while asleep make some people urinate more at night?

Nose breathing vs mouth breathing - the science

It's well worth exploring

Unfortunately the adrenaline generated as a result of the cardio will mean you won’t get to sleep for hours

Last year I started having to get up a couple of times to pee in the night. Doctor told me it's not uncommon for someone of your age (59). I said it's not common for me, so could we please run some tests?

Anyway, PSA came back normal. DRE suggested some minor prostatic enlargement. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, he told me. Prescribed a drug called Tamsolusin. One a day and I'm back to sleeping right through the night again.

Definitely worth getting a prostate check for peace of mind.

Please have a Prostrate Test or talk to your doctor, I did, and I'm here today because I did.

@happypig please tell me you have an appointment booked.

Not if you're drinking enough fluids, no.

Hmm....well, I usually have a large mug of coffee before work, 2 -3 smaller coffees at work and a couple of cans of beer after work, at home. I tend not to get particularly thirsty, so I guess I have enough fluids? I've never been one for drinking plain water, much, since I was a kid.
I must say, the lack of a 'need to go', comes in very handy at gigs, as I never need to lose my spot.
