What’s the Line Between Normal and Abnormal Nighttime Urination?
Waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom is not always cause for alarm. However, if it occurs frequently or begins to interfere with your sleep and daily life, it could indicate an underlying problem. Understanding the difference between regular and abnormal nighttime urination, also known as nocturia, might help you decide when to consult a doctor.
What’s Considered Normal?
Most healthy adults can sleep through the night without needing to urinate. It is not uncommon to wake up once during the night, particularly after drinking a lot of fluids in the evening or taking alcohol or caffeine. In reality, waking up once a night to urinate is typically regarded normal, particularly as individuals get older.
As we age, our bodies generate less of the hormone that helps us retain fluid, and our bladder capacity may decline. This is why adults over 60 are more prone to have nocturia.
