Enemas to settle you to sleep?

Wondering if others when they said, “I can't sleep,” or something like that might have just have said, “Mommy will you give me an enema?"

Then, did you ever complain of not being able to get to sleep as a ruse to get an enema?

No and no. But I do use enemas to be able to go to sleep if I’m having trouble sleeping.

Also a no and no to @LindaB ‘s question. However, many times late at night I’d become horny for an enema would do a long solo session before going to bed.

Well, while that was not the reason I received several enemas while in hospital, it was certainly the result.

As I've written before, during several hospital stays I was restricted to bed which means peeing in a urinal (or sometimes a Foley catheter and bed bag) and tying to poo on a bedpan. I always refused Colace or laxatives because sloppy poo is a mess, in bed or not.

Fortunately, most times I had an understanding hospitalist who ordered tap water enemas PRN. In practice this was every other day. I always asked that the enemas be given at sleep time, after visiting hours, when things were quiet.

In most cases this happened and I was given full bags of comfortably warm water by very good nurses and promptly filled the bedpan. Then I was cleaned up with a warm, wet tower and soon fell into a really good sleep. One time, the enema had the soap packet mixed in and I awoke and had to poo very urgently a few hours late, but fortunately the bedpan was close to hand.

While a kid, I hated those enemas from mom or grandma. I wouldn't have asked either of them. As I aged, I found enemas to be a wonderful aid to a restful night and would ask for one as long as I had a willing provider. Eventually, I had to ask myself for one, and rarely refused due to those wonderful sensations. The dreams thereafter, were always quite welcomed albeit sometimes a bit strange.

No, never even thought of asking my RN mom for an enema for any reason including as a sleep aid. She gave me very, very few childhood enemas and until I rediscovered them and started giving them to myself at 15 never thought they might help me sleep. However, now at 70 I’m still enjoying them for their own unique sensations as well as helping me achieve orgasms in the presence of serious ED. Like some others I’ve read on Zity, enjoying almost any substantial enema above about 1-2 quarts also leaves me very relaxed and somewhat pleasantly tired. I have over the last 20 years or so with increasing insomnia occasionally scheduled an enema after dinner or just before bed to use my natural post-enema relaxation and tiredness to help get off to sleep. When I feel like it, it’s a very nice soporific.

I would absolutely LOVE to be given an enema at bedtime, to help me settle down and sleep.

Back in the day my late wife knew an evening enema session that included a good strong orgasm was relaxing, stress relieving and sleep inducing. Miss those days.

Never used that guise as a kid. But, it does feel relaxing to give yourself a warm enema before bedtime, if you're feeling bloated, etc.

If I am going to do series of enemas(and that is usually what I do) i plan to so it in the late evening. Late enough that when I finish I can go to bed. I know that I will get a good night's sleep and that I will fall asleep quickly.

Never got an enema just to relax me as a kid but as a young man I played volleyball on a recreational league once a week in the evening. If we drew the late game it was sometimes after 10pm when I got home. Wife and kids all in bed but I was too wound up yet to sleep. I would give myself a full bag enema in the basement bathroom and by time it was all out an hour later I was ready for bed.

Now, much older, my body doesn’t react the same anymore. If I give myself a late evening enema, my stomach makes gassy rumbling for some time. And worst of all, sometimes an hour after I get in bed I get the feeling there is more coming out and need to make a quick trip to the pot. So now I try to allow 3-4 hours before bedtime for any enema of volume.

Never as a kid but as an adult, many times “I can't sleep” because of gas or incomplete BM is a good reason for a thorough cleanout and restful sleep usually follows (unless there are a lot of return trips.)

I find it has the opposite effect!

I don't sleep as well when my stomach is churning.

One more reason to take an enema when I get up. That way the gut has most of the day to settle down.

Once I'd get started on a late night enema session, midnight and beyond, I find the adrenaline would start and I'd be wide awake and could continue the session into the wee hours..

Mom would give me a cool water enema (a series actually) before bed (or anytime) was if I has a fever. I stil do it for fevers. Works good. Afterwards I can feel the heat on my scrotum from the expelled water in the toilet. Only do it for reallyvhigh fevers.

Never thought about this. But I’m lying awake in a hotel room from jet lag after crossing seven time zones. Wish I had a bag with me. I’ll see tomorrow if an enema can help ease the jet lag.

My sub never received any enemas from his Mom whether to help him sleep or otherwise. But he used to enjoy evening, before bed, enemas. They did help him sleep. Though waking up during the night to pee was not his favorite part.

Back when I was working as a school/district administrator I would… it’d help relieve the tension of a rough day and relax me. The only downside to taking an enema late was if I did not expel all of the water, my bladder would almost always wake me up…before morning!

I've never had an enema to help me sleep, but will be giving it a try.

Never

But I sleep much better after a a few nice enema,,

Enemas before bedtime don’t work for me as I am always concerned about leakage. However, an early morning enema will guaranty a good night sleep
