How often do you WAKE UP during the night?

Normally 1-2 sometimes 3, depending of how stressing work is at the moment.
Was told by Doctor waking up can be stress related.

I just misread that as "depending on how distressing work is at the moment." Was about to suggest a helpline!

I thought the point of your poll was to let us know that you have a considerably younger g/f than yourself and that you are a bit of STUD?

Is she Japanese? Friend had a Japanese girlfriend once. They lived in a high rise in Tokyo with paper thin walls. He used to put the hoover on when they were shagging so as not to annoy the neighbours with her screams!!

Can also be infection related.
A bladder infection can be almost undetectable, but lead to problems if not taken care of and left for a long time.
Good case for a regular check-ups of urine and blood - after all it's free on the NHS. Especially advisable when over 40.

Also, those tight trousers that used to fit alright when you were slimmer - another bad thing for the bladder, and for circulation.

Damn this thread. After reading this, i woke up 3 times last night, usually only the once.

Last night I woke up before I went to sleep whereas I normally have to go to sleep first, then wake up and go back to sleep again.

I think you need to switch the light on then off again.

Time was I could sleep through from night till morn and I wouldn't wake up even once, but these day it's a different story.

From the age of around 27 I wake up, like clock work, around two hours after going to bed. It's always for the loo and I can drop off again almost instantly.

My fear is, does this get worse with AGE? There has been occasion over the last year where I need to go TWICE during the same night! Where will it end!? By the time I'm 50, will I spend more time PEEING than asleep?

The missus says she never has to get up during the night, but then she is a sprightly 22 year old, so has she too got the regular night time trip to the BOG to look forward to as the years roll by?

How often do YOU need to PEE during the NIGHT?

At least you make the bathroom when you need to go.
