It happens to me too if I drink a lot during the day.

yeah it happens to me too sometimes if i have a big drink before bed time.
but if it does bother you then its probably a good idea to go to a doctor to get tested for infections because you can have an infection and have no symptoms.

this happened to me last year for about sux months. and it wad odd bc usually I NEVER get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I changed my diet and started exercising more, then it went away. but I really think you should see a doc. looking back now, I should have. I think I may have had abnormal blood sugar levels.

I have been eating a lot more sat.fat than normal and under a lot of stress... that might have something to do with it.

Anyway, we'll see.

Often this can also be a mind-set.
Try not to drink before sleep and go to the bathroom as often as you can during the day. Relieve stress through working out and drink plenty of water during the day because it helps prevent cancer and whatnot, water is more beneficial then most people think.

Normal if you have a lot on your mind.

Ok, so here's what I've concluded. Water and tea make you pee like crazy, so watch your intake of those near bedtime (try not to drink too much for about 4 hours before bed).

Also, you could have a small bladder, or a very sensitive one. My advice is to go to the doctor and have them do a urine analysis and Ultrasound, just to be sure there aren't any underlying reasons.

Forget about the pee. I drive myself crazy sometimes when I can't fall asleep after 30 minutes, I always have to get up and pee.

But frequent urination is a symptom of UTI. not that you have one based on the info present. Does this only happen at night? or is it all day long. Have you been having sex?

Regardless, a UA and ultrasound are a bit extreme at this point. (unless you have more symptoms now as its a week later) Give your urinary track a good flush. Stop drinking caffeine and sugary drinks. Stick to water and herbal tea. Drink cranberry juice (real, not heavily sweetened) or get the capsules.

And for the skeptics- cranberry has been proven to cure UTIs. It has a chemical component that prevents bacteria from sticking to walls of your bladder (and other parts). The bacteria can still grow, but if you flush with water and don't feed it sugar- you will pee it out.

It could be nothing but constantly having to piss is a symptom of Diabetes. Go see a doctor and be sure.

have you tried peeing then having your bath or shower then trying to go again and make sure you get it empty
