It varies with me too, but usually around 2 am. My hubby too. We usually bump into each other on the way to the bathroom.

I guess I also tend to go around 2 am.....when I sleep at night tho. Working 5 nights a week my sleep is during the day. It's funny but at night I get up once or twice depending on how much fluid I've had. When sleeping days, it's extremely rare for me to get up to potty at all!

If you hear what women discuss in the gyna/urology ward the night vists can be frequent.
Often lack of sleep due to this can wear a woman down.

I believe it depends on several factors.
Weight...childbirth..hysterectomy.Lifting heavy weights.
menopause.hormones decreasing Urine infection.
I mistakenly believed having a hysterectomy that "everything" would be tided up therafter...Ha ha!!
Prolapse (rectrocele and cystocele).can happen after hyster. Both conditions can cause bladder disturbance.

Given the ages of the women on the forum I have wondered why this discussion has not been raised before.(that I can recall)This leads me to believe childbirth experience varies by nation.Also tecnique during gynae operations.And the fact that few consultants are women.Certainly more than one generation ago.
I sought a female consultant so can compare.

"Go potty"...here that would mean to go mad...

I had a hysterectomy 7 years ago. I usually wake up once during the night and go pee........and then go right back to sleep and don't get up again til morning. Never more than once during the night,though. Sometimes I'm lucky and sleep the whole night thru!!

Interestingly enough, I"ve had only one trip/night in the past week.

Sometime back, a friend told me this: That if we wait WAY too long to potty, our bladder can burst! So, since hearing that, I probably go a lot JUST to be sure I get it out. Plus, you can even get a bladder infection if you wait too long as well.

Way to long...that would have to be a long time.

There is no doubt thinking about weeing makes us go.

In toilet training disabled children timing is important.Then allowing longer intervals.
Pelvic floor exercise can help.

Has anyone ever tried Detrol, the medicine for frequent urination? I'd be interested in results.

Another thing... some don't empty their bladders completely.
Bladder/urinary tract infections:
Remember to clean from front to back after urination.
Remember to urinate before and after [intimacies].

Yep, Gims. I always recite the "front to back" to myself when pottying!! LOL!!

And yes, before and after is crucial. I've had many a bladder infection before I knew about that rule.
