#167 - Frequent Nighttime Urination: All Through The Night
Manage episode 503669464 series 3365942
When it comes to insomnia, many people begin their journey staring at the clock after yet another middle-of-the-night bathroom trip and wondering: is it my bladder or my sleep that’s broken? In this episode, we will:
- Define what nocturia is—and what counts as normal versus abnormal
- Explore why most people wake up first and then feel the urge to urinate
- Reveal how nocturia can be a surprising red flag for obstructive sleep apnea
- Distinguish between urinary problems that happen all day long versus nighttime-only frequency linked to sleep disorders
- Challenge the myth that cutting off fluids during the day is an effective fix
- Reassure you that a single nightly bathroom trip can be perfectly healthy
