In winter, I want to sleep until I wake up naturally, and wake me up from my dream with a pee

Getting up to go to the bathroom at night in winter is such a bummer!

I finally got the bed warm, but now I want to go to the bathroom again. I had no choice but to endure the cold, half-closed my eyes, and walked straight to the bathroom with great reluctance.

If the kidneys hadn't given a strong hint, no one would want to get up.

Some people say that as you age, you naturally get up more often at night. Regarding the question of age and the frequency of getting up at night, Dongdong Miao will treat it as self-mockery~

Because getting up at night is not just about age.

I want to sleep in naturally during the weekends, but nocturnal urination becomes a hindrance. Not only does it disturb my sweet dreams, but it also wakes up my family and roommates. I feel ashamed just thinking about it!

Normal adults urinate 4-6 times during the day and 0-2 times at night. If you urinate 4-5 times or more at night and the amount of urine exceeds that during the day, it is called nocturia.

Nocturia is a very common but easily overlooked disease with a high incidence rate. It is also closely related to symptoms such as depression, cognitive dysfunction, and mood disorders.

Frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination are all familiar advertising slogans. The frequent urination mentioned here is the culprit for the increase in the number of nighttime awakenings. When a person's physical fitness declines, frequent urination is prone to occur, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as low back pain, urgent urination, and painful urination.

Nocturia can also be divided into two types: physiological and pathological.

Physiological factors mainly include drinking plenty of water, cold winter weather or mental stress.

To resist frequent urination at night, some people may think of not drinking water before going to bed.

In fact, we can drink some water before going to bed, but we should avoid drinking in big gulps and in large quantities. We should not drink too much water "Duang, Duang, Duang".

If you don't touch the water at all, the viscosity of the blood will increase, which can easily cause patients with hypertension to suffer from thrombotic diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.

Frequent nocturia caused by psychological factors, such as having an exam or an interview the next day, which causes anxiety and stress, resulting in an increased heart rate and blood circulation, which will also lead to an increase in nocturia.

The way to deal with it is to learn to relax and divert your attention, or the stressful thing will be over once it is over.

Pathological factors are mostly caused by inflammatory or non-inflammatory stimulation, reduced bladder capacity, neurogenic urinary frequency and some diseases, such as diabetes, diabetes insipidus, and polyuria in the acute kidney injury phase.

I remember that I didn’t need to get up at night and I slept until I woke up naturally. Now I have become a “night owl”. While lamenting, we should also pay attention to the fact that this may be a warning from the body.

"It's nothing to urinate frequently. The worst that can happen is that you won't be able to sleep well," some people said.

There is nothing wrong with occasional frequent urination, but long-term sleep disorders can lead to depression and cognitive impairment, which is still a cause for concern.

Besides drinking water, what else can we do?

Eat less foods such as milk, chocolate, tangerines and oranges, as they may cause the bladder wall to swell, reduce its capacity, and increase the frequency of nocturnal urination.

Eat less salt. Eating too much salt will make you want to drink water. This cycle will naturally lead to more nocturia.

Try wearing socks to bed, as wearing socks can prevent fluid from accumulating in the legs, which not only reduces urine but also prevents cold feet.

Another point is not to drink alcohol and coffee. The antidiuretic hormone in the human body will be controlled when drinking, and the production of urine will also be affected. Drinking coffee will stimulate your bladder and make you urinate more frequently at night.
