Hi doc

I done all that for ages, I still get up a couple of times a night. What l do now is go to bed at the same time everyday and finally get up 9 hours later. I don’t worry anymore about my sleep, if I get 6 or 7 hours of sleep, is completely fine. I am never tired anymore, cause I don’t worry. If I wake up and can’t get back to sleep, I listen to a guided meditation, eventually, I will get back to sleep. Too many people already, telling you how many hours or how much sleep you need, but every one is different. As long you feel good the next day, you will be fine. Don’t worry you won’t die. Don’t be anxious about your sleep and you will be okay.

eating with just vegetables for dinner and taking magnesium glycinate helps. I swear anytime I just eat steamed Broccoli with a little sea salt........I don't awake wide awake around 2am and just lay there and the nocturia is not as bad. I'm so used to it I just keep a milk cart by my bed to quickly pee in and then just go back to sleep.

Gentlemen's agreement; I'm 68 and my doctors think I should get surgery to reduce the size of my prostrate (I take 2 Flomax capsules daily). I don't feel ready yet for surgery, so am putting it off. On average, I get up 2-3x per night to pee, but sometimes only have to get up once. I am following all your tips and often think my peeing over 2x per night may be psychosomatic (I suffer from Health Anxiety as well). Thank you and keep up the great advice!

I don't eat anything after lunch. I don't drink anything after 6:30 pm. I make I go to the bathroom before I go to bed but with an enlarged prostate, it's hard to double void. Sometimes I'm in the bathroom for ten min. I always wake up 2, 3, 4 times during the night.Sometimes more. I'm very healthy, in shape, non diabetic 64 year old. I'd give almost anything to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time without haveing to make a trip to the bathroom.

Great point Mick!

Hi great video but for some people the cause of peeing at night is an enlarged prostate gland I see you don't mention this as a possible cause but if people with an enlarged prostate eat lycopene which is found in water melon and pomegranate seeds and tomatoes each day this will help shrink the prostate gland and also combining this with your 321 method I think this will help a lot of people with this condition also it will also help for a strong pee stream stop start peeing also strengthens the muscles down there and pelvic floor exercises there are also prostate tablets with lycopene in in health food shops altogether success 😊

I am 78 years old man, I don't get up to pee in the night. I owe this to Saw Palmetto. I started taking Saw Palmetto at the age of 40. I have been taking one capsule a day.

One of the many issues and signs of diabetes or even prediabetes is polyuria (production of large volume of diluted urine). Before any of the steps presented in the video can be of real use, you need to fix your (pre)diabetes. For me that was done with keto. And of course sugary foods, snacks, alcohol before bed - even a few hours before - will increase your urine production.

Great I will give it a try I have prostate cancer very early stage up 2 to 3 times at night following similar approach to yours although I have been told my prostate is not abnormal size for my age. My treatment at present is I am on active surveillance with regular check ups and 2 to 3 MRI per year. I will try for a week and comment back.

Very enlightening and it works. It’s easy listening to your videos. Your techniques and advice have been most helpful. Keep going and create more videos we all can benefit from.

Prostate issues or insulin/blood sugar issues come to my mind if you still wake up to pee even when not eating or drinking 3 hours before bedtime. Might be worth going to the urologist and get some blood work done.

At 70 as male doctors diagnosed over active bladder but when I stopped tea and cold drinks afternoon I was able to sleep whole night without peeing in the night.

Just booked an online appointment. Hope to figure out my issue soon. Thanks Eric

Great vid, Eric. I'm subscribed and hit "like" on everything and follow your videos for great tips, using whichever relate to my situation. I have MS and my bladder/bowel control is compromised to a degree. I use intermittent self-catheterisation each night at bedtime to completely empty my bladder and again 1-2 times through the night although sometimes it's more. I take 50mg baclofen to reduce urgency and I do your pelvic floor stretches every night before bed (serpent pose, static lunges each side, "happy baby" and adductor stretch). I also roll on a tennis ball. All have helped a little but I think I'm at the limit of what they can do. I also follow your advice in this video except for avoiding dark chocolate for 3 hours before bed. I avoid drinks for about 2 hours (and don't touch any caffeine or alcohol at all) but my last food is only about 2 hours before bed so I'll try to extend that a bit including the small amount of dark chocolate. Thanks for all your helpful advice. I know I'm a non-standard case but I still gain benefit from your wisdom, sir.

I'm a big diet soda drinker myself. The carbonated and fizziness of the drink can irritate the bladder. Try to cut back on the soda and see if that helps.

I take flomax and work overnight. it's difficult to stop all fluids that early, but I will try. I had been pretty good for awhile but lately my 7-8 hours of sleep have turned into waking every 2-3 hours and struggling to fall back asleep. I also have an anxiety about oversleeping - usually when I'm up I stay up because I feel I will oversleep if I go back to bed or I wake in the middle of a sleep cycle that will leave me less rested. I'm going to try this exactly, it's rough with my schedule but I know if I get that restful sleep back I will have a lot more energy on the other side of it.

Is this works for incontinenence of urin.?

If it were only that easy! I already do these things, at least to some extent. My natural sleep cycle is to wake every two hours, then need a pee. If I sleep longer, often my bladder locks up, and I find it hard to pee. Lying down for ten minutes for the second flush helps. In the morning back to normal. One thing that really affects me is a pollen allergy, when tree pollen is at its height, I could be up every hour, and only get a trickle. Perhaps twice a year, in winter, low pollen, often after a long period of exercise, so dehydrated, I may sleep for six hours. I am 68, and probably didn’t do my bladder any good drinking too much beer in my youth. I have accepted it and don’t get too stressed by it, though it does sap energy. I am considering getting a whole house ventilation system with HEPA filters to remove pollen.

I have been taking Flomax for years. Will your method help me not need this medication in the future? I am 74 years. Thanks, what you say makes sense. I'm guilty of consuming after dinner so this may be the root of my problem.

I'm 32 and I can awake 2-3 times when sleeping. I already took my time like that double void method and it doesn't work, it never works. Now that I think about it, as a kid till teen I often wake up once to pee but then I also drink water after peeing. I have tried the don't drink 2 hours before bed, but I still wake up. Although I may not have the urge to pee when I'm awake, I still go to pee, because I thought I don't want to continue my sleep interrupted later. If I don't drink, I end up peeing very little or tea like colored, that it scares me. So I cannot if I don't drink a bit. Now I don't know what will work. If I get to sleep uninterrupted for 5 hours, even I get surprised. Maybe my brain is already wired different at this point, since I often get the urge to pee in my dreams. It results I can even pee in my dream although thank goodness I don't wake up pee in my bed 😔 I really miss the time I can time travel 8 hours of sleep without waking up.

Tanks for this comment. If you're not waking up from the urge to urinate, it would be worth while going to get a sleep apnea text completed. It could be that you're snoring and breathing disturbance is waking you up and then you've built a habit surrounding going and emptying your bladder. It's worth chatting about this with your doctor.

Keep your body warm or not so cold to avoid peeing

Trying this tonight, 1 pee to go, can not double void though

I have a 16 oz bottle of water or drink with no sugar in it. Ice cream no sugar. Candy with no sugar. If I drink anything after 7:00 I'm up half the night going to the restroom so that works for men and women. And so you know my mother after 5:30 in the evening we weren't allowed to drink anything because of having accidents in the bed. So it's actually for guys and gals😊 and I don't normally don't go to bed until after 11:00 until my daughter comes home from work so about 5:30 6:30 is when we have dinner.
