Frequent nighttime urination

Waking 1-2 x per night to urinate is not an indication of pathology, but if you struggle with more frequent nighttime urination, try to:

  1. Sufficiently hydrate during the day.
  2. Reduce fluid intake in the evening and in the 2-3 hrs before sleep.
  3. Don’t drink too much water after 7 PM if you don’t want to wake up to pee in the middle of the night.
  4. If you need to drink at night, sip water slowly; the rate of fluid consumption impacts the need to urinate, as does the volume you consume, of course.
