ApatheticSpazzle 28 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Am I the only one that has trouble with this? Even if I don't need to go that badly I feel like I can't sleep and am fidgety untill I'm extremely tired or its completely empty. Here4theFun 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyuu 6,097 Posted May 7, 2013 👑 Administrator Share Posted May 7, 2013 I can't get to sleep even if I only slightly need to go. It almost feels like it's a paranoia developed from bedwetting troubles when I was a kid. My mind won't let me go to sleep if I have any noticeable urge to use the bathroom, no matter how hard I try. I'm sure this is probably a pretty common thing though. Quote Link to comment
rachelkirwan 13,627 Posted May 7, 2013 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Share Posted May 7, 2013 I always (unless I've been drinking and then I regret not doing so) go before bed, but this is a long engrained habit. Quote Link to comment
Waittowee 136 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yep, I'm the same as others - I can't go to sleep if I can feel any kind of urge to pee. I used to wet the bed a lot as a child, so I had it drummed into me that I should always pee before bed......20 years later and still can't break the habit ;) Quote Link to comment
Jarvis Langley 477 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah, I have trouble sleeping if I need to go at all too, and generally go before bed, even though I've never wet the bed in my life (somehow, despite often sleeping 12+ hours without waking up at all during that time). I can still sleep anyway if I'm tired enough to just flop down and pass out, but generally it'll just end up keeping me awake. Quote Link to comment
koyukoyu 87 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm the same. I can't fall asleep even with just a slight urge to pee. I don't think this has anything to do with paranoia from bedwetting. It's just my body can't go into sleep while there is some uncomfortable feeling. Quote Link to comment
tennyson 465 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My wife has this problem. She gets nervous about leaking and/or needing to get up multiple times per night to pee - she has taken to wearing depends and sleeping on a blue hospital chuck pad. Quote Link to comment
sally123 0 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I ALWAYS go to the bathroom before going to sleep whether I have to go or not. Quote Link to comment
FamFanFan 26 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 i am incontenient so i stay diapered so im not really worried about wetting the bed. i do it all the time. Quote Link to comment
Shady 152 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I usually go to the bathroom before going to bed, but, sometimes, I go to bed with a near full bladder. It can take me a little longer to fall asleep like that, but, sometimes, I want to wet the bed on accident yet on purpose too sort of. It usually causes me to have to wake up extremely early or just a couple hours after I fall asleep and not be able to fall back asleep until I go. It actually kinda surprises that I'm able to hold like that in my sleep, even though I don't really want to hold, considering my history with real bedwetting. Quote Link to comment
Haruko 29 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It actually kinda surprises that I'm able to hold like that in my sleep, even though I don't really want to hold, considering my history with real bedwetting. THIS! I have never wet the bed… even though I have gone to sleep many times with a full bladder. I always wondered if there was like… a reflex or something in there or something that's making it impossible for me to go in my sleep. It's weird... Quote Link to comment
DrBorderline 325 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I can't remember ever doing that kind of thing, but I have some serious insomnia issues so everything has to be taken in that context. I can be kept awake for hours by the smallest things or nothing at all. Quote Link to comment
ApatheticSpazzle 28 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well I almost always use the bathroom before going to bed and I don't remember ever being a bed wetter. It's those nights when I actually want to go to bed with a slightly full bladder so I can wake up in the morning with a extremely full one. That's when it gets annoying that it's so hard to fall asleep. Quote Link to comment
Gadwin 54 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I have never in my life wet the bed, and yet I still can't get to sleep if I didn't just pee. It is a paranoia for me-- even though I never wet the bed (supposedly even as a baby, I never went in my diaper while asleep), I've always been afraid that if I were to go to bed with a non-empty bladder that it would happen.

throwawaypete 1 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't have any problems with going to bed with a full bladder and I pretty much always do it. The next morning I always have to pee really bad though :D. lgtwagon 1 Quote Link to comment
riviara 70 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I actually go to sleep needing to pee quite a bit and tend to wake up very desperate. It seems like I'm the only one that does this looking at all the replies O.o Quote Link to comment
wettingman 1,586 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 When I was a child, my siblings and I were punished if we got up to go to the bathroom, after we were put to bed. Our parents saw this as procrastinating going to bed. So this may sound silly since I will turn 61 in a few weeks; but to this day I absolutely cannot go to sleep unless I am sure my bladder is completely empty. Here is the silly part. Once I have peed, (what our parents used to call our finals) I must go directly to bed. If I am detoured or delayed for any reason, I have to try and empty again, even if it is only a few drops. Even if I stand up for a second after lying down, I feel like I have to pee. I have tried but I simply cannot relax to sleep if I don’t. I know I am being foolish, especially since I enjoy holding my pee, and waking up with a very full bladder, but at this point it is not worth the lost sleep to fight it. Quote Link to comment
FromIncognitoMode 236 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Unless you're trying to wet your bed in purpose, nobody will do that. But, sometimes, even if you are trying to do so, the habit can be stronger than us. Quote Link to comment
Franny 21 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Several times in my life, when I was quite tipsy, I've gone to bed with a full bladder. On those occasions I would awaken a few hours later with a hangover -- and an empty bladder. Quote Link to comment
groganguy 266 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 i always empty out (normally in the shower) before bed as i dont want to get up in the middle of the night needing to pee Quote Link to comment
Infernal 123 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I do think it's just the discomfort that makes it hard to relax and get to sleep, coupled with the fact that most people are taught to pee before bed. Interestingly, there was one way I had been told to get around this fact and it did wake me up several hours early with a burstingly aching bladder; go pee as usual, then chug something (I drank about a liter worth of sports drink) and then go right to bed. You fall asleep because you're not full and uncomfortable yet, but you wake up extremely full. I do suspect that most people will actually wake up from this; alcohol seems to be the only reliable way to make an adult wet their bed. (Something I have seen happen before, by the way.)

I've actually kind of been interested to try something sorta along these lines...since I sleep so soundly I usually wake up bursting, but find the painless sort of desperation (from also waking up really dehydrated) nowhere near as enjoyable. I have a lot of trouble falling asleep if my stomach isn't mostly empty though, for some reason...wonder if there's another way to do this that doesn't involve having to chug a lot at once?

GuiltyPleasures 32 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I just taught myself to sleep with a pretty full bladder (to see if things would happen, haha) so I can do it. I always wake up before I end up peeing though whenever I do... Quote Link to comment
Ryoku-the-Fox 52 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I actually have no problem with this. I've always had a pretty strong bladder, and when I was a kid I used to wake up whenever I had to go too badly, so I never once wet the bed. I think it's that security in knowing I'll still be full when I wake up that allows me to fall asleep with a full bladder. Also, I look forward to waking up really desperate and pushing my hand into my bladder as I... you know. ;) Quote Link to comment
DiaperedGuy 100 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I usually pee before going to bed, but I often drink a bottle of water before going to sleep. Most of the times I will wake up needing to pee pretty bad and sometimes I get up and go and other times I just go back to sleep. Occasionally I will wake up damp and once in awhile I will have a pee dream and wake up in mid pee, usually with my underwear wet and a wet spot on the bed. Never had this happen when I was a child, but from my twenties on it seems to be every couple of months and occasionally once or twice a week. Quote Link to comment
