How to avoid wake up during the night ?

I always have to wake up during the night once or twice to pee. I would love to be able to sleep right thru and just pee in the diaper without waking up. Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?

Yeah, i do the same thing during the night!!! Wish i knew the answer...i can remember waking up in the mornings when i was kid in a wet bed..

Even when I'm sleeping in my diapers, I still wake up (often not all the way but enough to know what I'm doing) when I pee in them. I think if I wore them every night I'd eventually get to point of sleeping right through this, but then, that would mean I'd have to wear my diapers every night or else wet the bed--and I'm not able to do that at this point in life.

As for you, have you ever tried any of the hypnosis tapes (well probably now CDs)? You used to see those advertised in all the old DPF publications and such, different tapes were said to help you reach certain levels of incontinence. I remember there was one specifically designed to help you start wetting in your sleep.

Hypnosis has helped me retrain my shy bladder (I have a shy bladder in diapers but I have a much shyer bladder trying to use toilets, so it was always going to be diapers). You could investigate warpmymind, which provides hypnosis MP3s.

I'm the same way at times. I have woke and felt the urge, but most of the time I wake and I'm already wet.

Dream hard

Deliberately wetting your nappy before sleep can help.

Same issue here, have to get up once or twice a night to pee. I have found, however, that if I replace all the fluids I lose thru an intensive workout in the evening, i end up sleeping right thru the wetting. My only concern with that is that this might turn into full loss of control at night. And then I might sleep thru a wetting where I didn't drink to replace lost sweat.

It used to be a rare thing to wet at night. I believe it was brought on by all the different meds I took. The two I take now really knock me out and that makes for wet pants without knowing it 3 or 4 times a week. Since then Over Active Bladder has added to the problem. My normal liquid intake wakes me up to eight times a night. I finally just gave in and when the urge strikes I end up going. So, wet unconsciously or et by being too tired to get up, I'm wet every night.

Props to you if you can find a way to become a bedwetter without untraining.

Bedwetting as a result of untraining usually indicates the untraining is successful and your subconscious continence is broken. As subconscious continence is inculcated during the critical period and there isn't a similar critical period in adulthood, this also generally means you're not going back. Some people have reported success with toilet training, but it is a conscious and fiddly effort for them and regaining continence comparable to where they originally were is not in the picture.

Most all the time if I awake already wet.

Same here. I sometimes wake needing to pee and am aware that my nappy is already wet but I just let it flow anyway. Most likely I will wake in a warm puddle later, just as I did this morning, but hey ho.

I try the deliberate wetting of my nappy before going to sleep but I still wake up needing to go for a wee. I just stay in bed and wet my nappy again. I do hope that at least once in a while i may wet myself when asleep

I don't need diapers but I enjoy wearing them from time time. If I wear one to bed and wake up in the middle of the night I just go ahead and wet my diaper and then go back to sleep.

I am never sure if I wet during sleep, but awake dreaming, and still in the twilight zone, wet my diapers. This happens several times during the night, ensured by a generous drink of water or two before bed.

I am usually wet before I go to sleep but do wake during the night sometimes an rewet the diapers several times each night. I now have a need for diapers at night for sure. I have gone without a few nights and peed the bed without waking up before I realized I was peeing, i went to doctor & they say its urge incontinence caused by diabetes and not curable at this point, so I have to live with it, but then that's what I wear diapers for.

Same here incurable incontinence due to my diabetes. I have long since learned to live with it

I tend to be woken by my bladder anything between 2 or 6 times a night, but if I can wet my nappy and then get to sleep quickly before the next time it wakes me I sometimes manage to sleep through to early morning.

If your getting up that often at night it's time to see your urologist or PCP and have your prostate checked , and you may not be "that old" to worry , you would be wrong mine was the size of a large grapefruit before i hit 40 , i am nearing 50 now and i got a notice from my insurance saying as a preventive screening i should have it "checked" , i was like my doctors finger and my prostate have a long term relationship going , they really must not care what the bill is for they just pay it !

Any way there are medications that will shrink that puppy allowing you a better more productive stream, that with any luck will allow you to not get up during the night .

I wake up between 3 and 6 times a night. I prefer to use a pull up for bed. That way the pull up gets the first bit which I can’t seem to control and I go to the toilet for the rest. As much as I pee at night it’s really hard for me to just use the diaper. I’ve made it a few times but there have been a few others when a Northshore Supreme or a dry 24/7 wit booster pad andplastic pants failed me.

I think I could sleep through the night without waking up if I wet the diaper all night forlong enough, but maybe not. I havnt tried it myself, but I understand getting catheiterized does the trick.

I've always had problems with bedwetting so waking up to use the bathroom has never been an issue for me, unless I for some reason don't wear anything to bed. BUT, every so often I will say this, I will wake up four hours after going to sleep. I'm already soaked and I change then go back to sleep. No I don't wake while in the middle of going, but I just think it's weird that I wake up in the middle of the night. Guess I know I'm soaked and need to change before soaking the sheets. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened.

Hi SAP and thank you for the advice on that nasty little "Prostrate" , my problem is that for the last 25 plus years my kidneys decided they would work 24/7 with no regard for my circadian clock and with having a small bladder does not help.

I recently had a "PSA" test which was very low indeed and flow wise it all works a little well as I am on a new med to increase capacity which now means I can sometimes only get woken 2 to 3 times per night.

When I recently stopped the meds I went straight back to 4 to 6 times nightly.

About 1 to 3 times a night now. It was 4 to 6. The prostate thing though. It's a bummer. I didn't realize how long I was dealing with it (20 yrs) till I got the meds (Flomax). I had forgotten what it was like to really pee. I was pretty much dribble man. After taking the meds I told the doctor I was like Super Man. I could pee over a small sky scraper. The Flomax seemed to cure the OAB thing but still left me with urge problems. So If I'm out away from the bathroom I better diaper up as when it hits, Because there's gonna be a Flomax moment. ....oh yeah my doctors finger and my prostate also have a thing going on...

If I keep myself dehydrated slightly it's only once. Drink enough and it's twice. Don't drink enough and I wake up thirsty, drink, and then wake up to pee.

Just starting to become a nuisance. Based on flow I'm right at the line between moderate and mild, also based on prostate size.

I'm 72 and lost my prostate to cancer over 10 years ago. I've never had an incontinence problem during the ensuing years. However, about 2 weeks ago I woke during the night in the middle of peeing in bed - something that hasn't happened since I don't know when. Anyway, our bed, mattress, etc. are all less than 2 months old. Thank goodness no damage was done to any of it. I told my wife I would now be wearing diapers (Depends or something similar) to bed every night as I won't risk damaging our bedding. I've not had another bed wetting episode; but, I have awaken several nights having to pee. I've gotten up, peed in the bathroom, and returned to bed. What I would like to do is lay in bed and pee in the diaper. But, as mentioned here and in other threads, that's easier said than done. I'm not sure how to train myself so I can pee in the diaper, but I'd love to reach that point. It is obviously a mental issue to overcome.

There are waterproof mattress pad that are fluid resistant.

I am diapered 24/7/365 for urge urinary incontinence. During the night, I generally three about three times. Sometimes I pee while sleeping, but often I wake up with an urge to pee. When I wake up, I just wet my diaper and go back to sleep.

We have a mattress pad on the bedding; but, I don't want to wet the sheets (beneath me or on me) and I don't want to get the quilt (made by my wife) wet with pee. I don't mind getting me wet with pee. lol!

Since I am new to diaper wear, I do have a question. How much pee (by volume) will most diapers of the Depend, or similar, type absorb? The reason I ask is when I wake up in the morning I generally weigh myself before and after I take the first pee of the day. Assuming I didn't get up during the night to pee, I normally lose about a pound between the two weighings which translates to about a pint of liquid. Do most of these diapers absorb that much? Of course, if I pee in the middle of the night it would be somewhat less. I just don't want to risk overloading the absorbancy of the diaper.

I was an every night bed wetter from the time I was born till I turned 19. Had a long dry spell from the ages of 20 until I turned 40, when I started wetting again. Now that I am 60+ years old, I am back to wetting every night again. I am a very heavy wetter, and wet several times a night, just as I was when I was younger. I am now wearing really thick cloth diapers and plastic pants at night, and don't even wake up when I am wetting. I go to bed with a dry diaper, and wake up in the morning with my diapers pretty well soaked.
