Adult Bed Wetting - West Hills,CA

I remember that happening to me once when I was a child (around 10, I think) but never since. I don't think it's age - I'm much older than you. I do wake up more than half the nights having to go, but I wake up and go. And I also take a sleeping pill at night, so I really don't know what to say about this.

I don't think staying up late is part of the problem unless you are saying your sleep is already disrupted.

I knew someone who dreamed she was in the bathroom but she was still in bed. She had had a lot to drink that night so probably wasn't waking up normally (not to mention that alcohol dehydrates), but your problem is occurring more than once.

I'd look at whether you are drinking anything that causes you to eliminate a lot of urine or otherwise irritate the bladder (e.g. caffeine, some artificial sweeteners). I'd look at whether you have any UTIs or bladder infections that could cause an intense need to urinate, that might now allow you to wake up enough. I'd also look at any sleep issues - are you having additional vivid dreams, are you waking up refreshed or exhausted, etc.? If you're not waking up thoroughly, you may have the vague "full bladder" feeling but are not coming into full enough consciousness to actually get up.

I don't think "getting old" is a good answer for this! Something is off. Could be something to talk to your doctor about, but that could involve urodynamic studies (bladder capacity) or sleep studies (learning more about your REM sleep and dream cycles). There are medications that help with bladder issues (antispasmodics, for example, but they can cause dry mouth which makes you want to drink more, creating a vicious cycle in some people.

There are also nutritional ways to address improved cellular health, which can help with bladder muscle problems and frequent UTIs (even low grade ones) and also sleep problems along with organ repair (which occurs during sleep). I do a lot of work in this area and have seen a lot of improvement in people's lives with the added boost of improved immunity and all kinds of body functions.

How old are you? If you are younger than 70, you are not old enough to be wetting your bed... unless you drink a lot before you go to bed and take a sleeping pill - that would do it.

So far I only dream like that if I've had a lot of water to drink before bedtime and it always wakes me up so I make it to the bathroom in time.
Sounds like you're developing an over active bladder.
It's something you need to talk to your doctor about.

Have to ask, are you drinking before going to bed and or taking sleeping pills? The only people I know that have that problem do one of those things.

I sometimes dream I am going to the bathroom but I don't actually go, I wake up and then have to go.

It is not to say this isn't an aging issue but if it was you would also have issues during the day.

I had this happen once. I was under a tremendous amount of stress, sleep deprived and a bit depressed.

My friend had just died and I had gone months on just the minimum sleep.

And I was under a lot of pressure with our business.

I started working on my stress level and made sure to get more sleep.

IF this had continued, I would have gone to the doctor.

I don't know why, but I dream of toilets a lot (been having them for years). I'm sure there is some meaning behind it. Always the same 'type' of dream, overflowed toilet or something similar, no door on the toilet stall or trying to find a potty to sit on and there are people everywhere or toilet is broke. It's weird. I just can't figure out the meaning behind it. I will admit that I have had some nights where I just 'catch' myself and am able to get to the toilet on time. You are no alone

I've never actually gone but, like others, I've had the toilette dreams. My guess is that your brain knows you have to pee so you start dreaming about toilettes/bathrooms. Your brains also tries to stop you from actually peeing while you're sleeping, so it creates a subconscious reason why you can't relive yourself - as in the stalls are all full or dirty or whatever.

Thanks for your replies ... hope there's more to come ... I am a litle past my mid 40's ... not a drinker - i drink tons of water - no sleeping pills - I think sometimes that I am so over tired that I go to sleep without going and hours later find myself waking up as i am starting to pee .... it's happened about 3 times in the lat year but it's just weird and starting to bother me ...
