Is there medication out there that helps suppress the need to urinate at night?

[Hugo Chavez]

I have been o urologists in the past and they always tell me there is nothing wrong and that it is psychological.

I just thought it was strange that you went to sleep apnea as plausable for frequent nightime urination.

I didn't, the dude did and I am open minded.

I think it is psychological.  Just like many of us are in the habit of waking up at the same time in the morning no matter how little sleep we get, I am in the habit of waking up once at night to piss.  I do this every single night and I don't usually even really need to.  I just can't get back to sleep unless I get up and do it.  This is from my competitive days when I would get up 5x nightly to piss during the last weeks.  For me, it's just an old habit.  I NEVER sleep through the night.

Thing is I can RARELY fall back asleep.

I pee alot at night if I drink a lot of water at night.  If I don't drink much then I am fine.  I usually have a jar of ice water next to my bed I sip on at night when I am thirsty.  I love ice water

[calmus]

rubber sheets are the answer.

Do you mix sugar into it?

Best advice so far.



On a side note: I have seen some commercial on german TV about a OTC drug that contained Saw Palmetto and some pumpkin seed extract.
You're in Korea, go and see a traditional korean doctor. He will give you some stinking shit tasting herb tea that will cure you from anything.

What is Nocturia?
Nocturia can be defined as awakening from sleep to voluntarily urinate. It differs from enuresis or bed-wetting, where the person does not arouse from sleep, but the bladder empties anyway. Until recently, nocturia was thought to be caused by a full bladder, but it is also a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea. What actually causes nocturia is still being investigated. Some researchers believe that one event per night is within normal limits; two or more events per night may be associated with sleep deprivation.

How Apnea Causes Nocturia
Umlauf explains that during episodes of sleep apnea, the soft structures in the throat relax and close off the airway, setting into motion a chain of physiological events. "Oxygen decreases, carbon dioxide increases, the blood becomes more acidic, the heart rate drops and blood vessels in the lung constrict," says Umlauf. "The body is alerted that something is very wrong. The sleeper must wake enough to reopen the airway. By this time, the heart is racing and experiences a false signal of fluid overload. The heart excretes a hormone-like protein that tells the body to get rid of sodium and water, resulting in nocturia."

wow, sounds like you found out what's causing your problems.

[Deicide]

I sure hope so. Right now it is just speculation and I must be tested. I would prefer having this to a psychosomatic issue because it can be treated in a direct way.

not really so much of a sleeping problem as much as a problem with time to sleep.
