Stop drinking caffeine. You'll stop urinating in the middle of the night. I figured this out when I stopped drinking coffee two weeks ago

@jr7292-b8e 11 месяцев назад

To sum it up: Hydrate more during the day so that at night (10+ hours after you woke up) you don’t need to drink as much which will reduce the body’s need to urinate during sleep. Stay clear of any sort of chugging/gulping of any liquid in the evening, the rate at which you consume the liquid is correlated to how quickly you will need to urinate that same liquid out of your body. Kind of all seems obvious when you think about it. His main point is that your kidney, stomach, and bladder are all correlated with your circadian rhythm and when it comes to processing liquids and urination they get actively “slower” or worst at this as the day goes on. With a notable decrease occurring ~10hours after you woke up.

Strangely, following a muscular/nerve incident at the sacrum-lumbar level (left buttock pain), I performed two targeted exercises for relaxation and stretching:. 1. Lying on my back, rotation of the pelvis/pelvic floor to the left => two small crunches... 2. Lying on my stomach, knees bent at 90° for shins an tops of my feet pressed against a vertical wall (sofa, etc.), with arms raising my torso (“Sphinx-Cobra” Yoga posture => 1 cracking took place followed by a small electric shock (nerve pinched/compressed by muscle?). Results: 1. Pain in the buttock has almost disappeared 2. Almost ideal standing posture 3. The following night, to my great astonishment, I only had ONE awakening! 😅, whereas for several months I had been waking up 3 to 4 times a night. It's now been 4 weeks since I did these spinal liberating exercises and...I'm only AWAKENED ONLY ONCE PER NIGHT. Obviously it is the nerve activating the opening/closing of the sphincter of the bladder which pinched/compressed maintained nocturnal incontinence and a high daytime frequency of urge to urinate. So here is a cause of increased need to urinate with numerous awakenings at night that I had never seen mentioned in the many postcasts/videos that I had listened to or watched. So, an origin that should not be excluded! ...

He should talk more about effective stress management. Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to an increased need to urinate, for many this culminates at night time due the build up of stress over the course of the day.

@walterscott2286 8 месяцев назад

Very astute! I totally agree. The agitation of the nervous system I feel, triggers overactivity of the urinary system. These people who are getting up and switching on the overhead bright lights numbers of times on the way to their bathrooms are unknowingly activating and reactivating their daytime circadian rhythm...I use only a very small flashlight aimed downwards to find my way to the bathroom. And I have only the downward facing light of two small nightlights near the toilet. I have read that downward facing dim light is far less likely to activate your circadian rhythm to "wake up" your nervous system at night.

Also, not mentioned, is that as soon as you lie down, the fluid that has built up in your legs during the day due to gravity has to be cleared, so your kidneys do this at night! Raising your legs in the evening as high as possible (or lie on your back with legs vertical against the wall) should help some of this clear during the evening rather than when you are trying to sleep.

Very well explained and validated with physiological details.

@trail.blazer 11 месяцев назад

I haven't watched the video yet, but my solution to having to get up to urinate was easy. I started going to bed around 9:45pm which appears to fall into my natural circadian sleep cycle. I then appear to get better deep sleep at the beginning of the night, which possibly increases vasopressin anti-diuretic hormone, and I stopped needing to get up during the night. I'm not sure if I've had to get up even once in the last 12 months. I drink water up until 7:30pm (sometimes a sip after that), have a pee at 9:30pm then lights out until 6:15am when I get up and have a pee. I'm 59 years old. Having more salt in your diet might also improve water retention during the night because salt increases vasopressin due to the sodium.

@meagiesmuse2334 11 месяцев назад

I think you are correct. We are on the Paleo diet, and we have one cheat meal per week. My husband picks it, and always picks fast food, which is loaded with salt. On the night we eat that, I get up only twice. When eating healthy, I get up 4 or 5 five times. (anti-diuretic hormone doesn't work properly in most people like me who have Fibromyalgia). I no longer feel guilty about cheating once a week, since it helps me sleep so much better!

Also, excessive blue light, from looking at a monitor late at night can trick the body into thinking it's still high noon when you finally go to bed. Your body won't be able to really slow down for many hours, maintaining normal metabolism and hence keep producing urine. I turn off my devices at around 7pm and read a book instead. I sleep much better that way.

I combine this with healthy lifestyle, intermittent fasting, very low carb, high healthy fat, 4-5 times exercise per week, no alcohol, little meat. BTW, I drink only when thirsty. No need for 2 to 3 liters. But I start my day with a glass of water with fresh lemon.

@rhatid 9 месяцев назад

I knew a surgeon who deliberated drink water at night and if she wakes up she take a drink after going to the bathroom at night. I now adopted that practice ditching the practice of trying not to get up. I drink warm water, the Chinese practice, and I try to drink copiously during the day and I also try to drink at night and I do get up three or so times at night but i don't mind this at all and I feel better, I think, for the fluid pass through. She explains, and I was convinced, that it allows the body to give the organs the added ability to get rid of toxins. I feel that in the mornings I wake with a clearer head snd a better feeling than before, but this is of course difficult to know for certain, but I feel I do. Getting up in the night really bothered me in the many decades of my earlier years but since I became convinced of her argument ten years ago, getting up in the night, no matter how many times, does not bother me at all. I don't religiously drink every time I get up, I may drink once or twice. I am comfortable with drinking on the way back to bed. Oh! i just thought, my bathroom is ten steps from my bed and I live alone! But seriously, I do prefer this for myself. I am nor contesting what Dr huberman says but saying what I now do, after some thought on the matter.

Good info, thanks. I'm wondering about two other factors that might influence nighttime dehydration and my need to urinate once or twice during the night: First, I'm definitely a mouth breather at night and I keep a water bottle on the night stand so that when I wake up with a parched feeling in my mouth I take a sip or two or water. Secondly, I'm a hot sleeper and my wife is the opposite, hence we sleep under some heavy insulation (as much as I try to keep that insulation off of me) and consequently I sweat during the night. This adds a second dehydration factor which also may contribute to my need to sip water during the night, hence a trip to the bathroom. I've confirmed the dehydration fact by blood tests that have been conducted first thing in the morning by my doctor's annual visits.

@christopherstewart9874 11 месяцев назад

There is another factor to consider. Mouth breathing at night leads to dry mouth, which will wake you up after 2-3 hours. When you wake up, you don't have an urgency to urinate, but you do feel like it would be easier to go back to sleep if you did. I don't think the tiny sip of water that eliminates the dry mouth contributes to wanting to urinate nearly as much as the 2-3 hours since your last bathroom visit.

@meagiesmuse2334 11 месяцев назад

Very true. If you don't want to take an antihistamine to stop mouth breathing, which will make your mouth even drier anyway, you can try a little Biotene oral mouth rinse. It is sickeningly sweet, but it works.

@SoComposed 11 месяцев назад

Also related: STOP mouth-breathing. Among many other benefits you will gain, breathing through your nose will make you less thirsty, since when we breath through our mouths, we lose a lot of moisture through aspiration that does not occur from the nostrils. And although you can train yourself to do this during waking hours, many find that breathing strips and mouth tape (look them up, there're lots of videos on this), or a chin strap, help them to nasil breath throughout the night. I began doing this about 5 months ago. When I wake up I'm never thirsty any longer, and I don't find I require any liquids in the evening any longer. I just drink, like Huberman says in this video, about 10 8oz drinks throughout the day :)

This is fine and all, but first and foremost men, if you're dealing with this, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. Don't ignore symptoms or try to cover them up if they could be pointing to something as serious as prostate cancer. If you're waking up consistently in the night to urinate, GET CHECKED OUT, PERIOD. Once you've ruled out something serious, carry on with this advice, but seriously, don't ignore what could be a warning sign to a very serious issue.

waking up to urinate at night can also be a symptom of sleep apnea, it's the sleep apnea that wakes you up and then you naturally have the urge to go.

@toddr.lockwood843 9 месяцев назад

This is all fine and well, but the primary driver of frequent urination during the night is incomplete emptying of the bladder each time you urinate, beginning with incomplete emptying at bedtime. Urinary retention in men can be caused by various factors, but the most common are prostate enlargement and loss of elasticity of the bladder, caused by the bladder being stretched to capacity frequently. A TURP procedure, a surgical procedure in which the diameter of the urethra is enlarged where it passes through the prostate, is the gold standard for solving frequent nighttime urination in men. A TURP is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a one-night stay in the hospital. Consult a urologist for more information. Getting a TURP was the best decision I've made in years. My sleep has improved dramatically.

Sleep disturbed breathing, for instance sleep apnea, can also influence your nighttime urination since urine is not produced in deeper sleep, which is often lacking in cases such as apnea.

@dm_podcast_takeways 8 месяцев назад

Summary: Andrew Huberman discusses the importance of fluid intake throughout the day and its impact on kidney function, specifically emphasizing the circadian rhythm's influence. He recommends consuming about eight ounces or 240 milliliters of fluid per hour for the first 10 hours after waking. This timing aligns with the circadian-dependent filtration of fluids by the kidneys. Huberman explains that circadian clock genes strongly regulate kidney function, affecting the filtration of fluids and hormone production, such as vasopressin. The kidneys function at a high rate during the initial 10 hours after waking, efficiently filtering fluids and adjusting urine production based on various factors. Around 10 hours after waking, kidney function starts to reduce, becoming less efficient. Huberman highlights that this decrease is beneficial, preventing excessive fluid filtration during nighttime hours. To minimize waking up at night to urinate, he recommends three strategies: Ensure sufficient hydration during the daytime to prevent excessive thirst in the evening. Reduce fluid intake at night, especially if hydrated adequately throughout the day. Consume no more than five to eight ounces of fluid between 10 hours after waking and bedtime, sipping rather than gulping to minimize the rate of fluid ingestion. Following these recommendations, individuals may experience fewer disruptions during sleep, contributing to better overall rest.

@meadow-maker 9 месяцев назад

you are so right on this. I'm 58 and always got up at least once most nights to pee, I've learned over time not to drink much past 19:00 and if I do to just drink slowly and no more than a small glass. If I drink a big glass quickly because I forgot to drink enough during the day then I can be up every 90 minutes to two hours easily.

@Bearguy512 4 месяца назад

Frequent urination is also a symptom of sleep apnea. I thought that my frequent urination at night was because I drank before bed. But I stoped that and still had to urinate frequently. Then my doctor said I have sleep apnea. Which makes sense because it is hard for me to breathe at night. This is serious and you should consider getting assessed for sleep apnea if you can relate because lack of sleep will knock years off your life (and in some cases, can literally kill you in your sleep)

Elevating legs in the evening is huge for people who don't exercise. They lack proper blood flow so water pools in legs while standing all day. Once they lay down the fluid isn't fighting gravity anymore, hence why people pee a lot in the middle of the night.

At 71, I've had this problem since my 20s--getting up to pee every 2 hours like clockwork. Fortunately I fall back asleep easily. I went to my dr. about it first 50 years ago. He did lots of tests, came back and said to me, "you have tb". "TB???" "Yes, tiny bladder." Over the years I've had this retested twice extensively, the last time with an uncomfortable test. Same verdict. In fact, the last urologist told me I was old enough that I could just skip the psa test. I seem to eliminate a greater volume of fluid than I consume. I've learned to live with it.

I stop drinking water at about 6 pm anyway. But it makes no difference on sleep interruptions, which can be up to three or four per night. What DOES make a difference is sweating during the day. It's easy for me to exercise during the evening, and then hop into a steam shower (sauna) for 10 minutes. Then I invariably sleep all night without interruption. It turns out Peter Attia also recommends taking saunas just before bed time. A hot bath might also do the trick.

You problaly don't hold as much water in your body as you used to, because now you don't consume carbs, and then, your insulin levels are low - insulin increases water retention - and also, your glycogen levels are low, which means less intramuscular water as well. I'm planning to start keto for this exact same reason - can't stand waking up in the middle of the night to pee anymore.

You’re likely just conflating the timing of those two events/ looking for something to blame. Happens all the time. Yours doesn’t sound that unreasonable compared to hearing so many other associations due to the timing of events. It’s the biggest problem with placebo effects.

Even water shows a placebo side effect of around 30% saying they got diarrhea.

For what it is worth, when I hit about 50 I found I started getting up like clockwork around 3 pm to urinate. It wasn't a problem.

I have no explanation for this other than getting better sleep/more oxygen/possibly some unintended acupressure points on my face.
