Bedwetting stopped, now can't sleep

[Archives1]

After I got married, I think the combination of unconditional support and the physical presence of another body in my bed caused my bedwetting to gradually stop. I can't remember the last time I wet the bed. It must be at least 6 months, maybe a year. And before that it was only every month or two. But the past month or so when I wake up with a full bladder, I wake up WIDE awake. I can't get back to sleep even if it's 2 or 3 in the morning. I've never had a problem getting to sleep or back to sleep before. Has anyone else had this problem?

That's great to hear about the bedwetting!

We've heard of similar frustrations about going back to bed. Most recommendations we've seen have included some sort of low-lit, quiet activity.

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

It's like a miracle. After trying so hard for so many years to stop bed wetting, after giving up trying, it just stopped and I almost forgot all about it.

That's good advice, I'll have to find a book or something to read for next time. Thank you.

I'm reluctant to turn to doctors about this for a few reasons. I've moved a lot and I hate explaining everything to a new doctor all the time. Generally there's nothing the doctors can do or suggest that I haven't already tried. And there are some that over medicate you unnecessarily. I'd rather deal with most things without doctors (except in emergencies).

For sleep try Doxylamine Succinate 25mg. Cvs has it in nighttime sleep aid & Rite aid has it in their brand. It is over the counter. You probably won't need but half of the pill. It has a line in center to break in half. Beats anything I have every taken for sleep.

For myself, a hot shower always makes we want to sleep.
What ever happened to warm milk at night?
