Late-Night Bathroom Breaks Ruining Your Sleep? Causes and Remedies

The article from MSN discusses the common issue of needing to urinate frequently at night, known as nocturia, which can disrupt sleep and affect overall health. It outlines several causes including aging, where the bladder's capacity decreases and the body produces less of the antidiuretic hormone; drinking too much fluid before bedtime, particularly caffeine or alcohol which increase urine production; urinary tract infections; prostate issues in men; and certain medications or health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. The article suggests remedies such as reducing fluid intake in the evening, avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol, practicing pelvic floor exercises, elevating legs during the day to reduce fluid retention, and consulting a doctor for persistent issues to rule out or treat underlying conditions. It emphasizes the importance of addressing nocturia to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
