An idea for bedwetters

[Archives1]

I have noticed if i lie down on the sofa blades during the day to read or to nap when i sit up i feel very loose in the bladder muscles and frequently can barely stumble to the toilet. Frequently cant gain muscle control before wetting myself.
If i sit upright or slightly recline in an arm chair in the day i have full control when i need to go.
I lie down in bed and pee sometimes a continuous flow or trickle all night starting when i relax to sleep which wakes me up again but now its too late, i stay relatively loose bladder muscled even if i get up pee in toulet and walk around.
My hypothesis us that sitting semi upright reclining in a chair puts different pressure on my bladder from internal organs OR creates a different neurological signal to my bladder muscles i dont know which.
So perhaps try sleeping semi up right in bed?
As i dont sleep soundly when peeing i figure its worth a try.
I should say for the record i am not a victum of an accident that caused incontinence or have any known causing illness like duabetes. I have control and pee less thsn msny women friends during the day. Doctors wrote me off as a sound sleeper middle aged woman because eomen are prone to leaky. Bladers.
So folks who bed wet might find a semi upright sleeping position worth a try.

That is interesting May, I wear protection all the time, as I assumed you do also. And I have noticed different positions produce different results. I do know I'm going through some things that have forced me to use some powerful sleep medications. And I virtually have no bladder control at all, and little fecal control. Hope my testing will help me find something that will help me sleep. I hate bladder spasms and they are not getting better,, they suggested a powerful addicting medication and she emailed me and said why don't we try these!

Sorry for all the yada yada

Good luck Mayriham. Please know the older you get more and more women will confide this is a very common problem. You might already know a number bof girls who run to the toilet frequently during the day when on outings or at school

No Boomer i dont wear protection as my problem is night wetting only so i protect the bed and judiciously use a towel and bed pad.
As i said the cause of the issue of nocturia is different for each of us.
Im so sorry it sounds like youe body is very challenging but you have a good relationship with your physician
