Going to the bathroom at night

My hubby and I are buying a house. It has three bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. We're deciding which bedroom to call our own and since the downstairs one is also near the bathroom, we're strongly thinking that will be our choice of where to sleep. 3 AM sleepies and coping with wooden stairs?? Thinking that would not be so smart.

I hate having to get up during the night to use the bathroom. Usually I put it off and put it off and I end up dreaming I'm looking for bathroom and not being able to find one. At that stage I decide I'd better get up and go before I have a nasty accident!

You think you have a problem? Sometimes, I have to get up every hour. I do exactly what you do. I usually fall back to sleep and I have been doing this for years now.

I get up with eyes open, so I don't bump into things as I walk across the central hallway of my home. I tend to fall back to sleep rather easily. I have this because I am on medication for hypertension and it tends to get me up at least once in the middle of the night. Hope you manage to sleep well, but have at least a tiny hall light along the baseboard of the floor to allow you to make it without falling. If you fall and bump your head, you might just go back to sleep forever. Just saying.

I last all night long. lol

may i suggest that you drink only a little at night time. if you do that, your bladder won't be full with urine. are you taking diuretics?

i hate that.i usually watch tv in bed and hope i fall asleep again.

I have the same problem as you. I wake up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, but I can easily crawl back into bed and fall asleep again. It has been my problem for many years and so I can't be in a house with no toilet in the bedroom.

The same as you, I just walk with my eyes closed and do what whatever I have to do and then go back to sleep

it tends to leave me awake too - it can be very annoying

I have that scenario sometimes specially every morning. I just sleep and make sure I focused on that.

Me and my aunt both had this problem, I cut back fluids after 6pm !!!

Definitely many can relate as we grow older or have prostate issues. I guess one can take comfort in the fact that misery loves company and on this problem you are not alone...

Yes I know this..I also try to keep eyes closed so annoying

Join the club. I have to get up about every two hours. I have a CD of ocean sounds and play it every time I get back in bed. It helps me get sleepy again.

I just get back in bed and assume the sleep position. It usually works.

Very rarely it happens to me, but it us quite annoying.

I never wake up when I'm already sleeping I make sure before going to bed I already peed.

U can make sure u use that bathroom before u go to bed. U can also try some classical music. Also try going to the bathroom in the dark.

Drink a tall glass of water, then wait a bit until you feel that urge to pee. Then go to bed after relieving yourself. Works for me. Hehe. Plus it's also healthy to drink a glass of water before going to bed.
