Nocturia can be due to several different factor

Doctors have lifted the lid on when your nightly bathroom trips could become a concern depending on your age.

Nature loves to call as we’re fast asleep, and the phenomenon of needing to wee at night, dubbed nocturia, can be caused byvarious factors.

According to Davina Richardson, a nurse at the charity, Bladder and Bowel UK, it can be a nuisance as frequent disrupted sleep can adversely affect our day-to-day lives and wellbeing.

The nurse also said it could be because of consuming too many caffeinated drinks during the day or drinking too late at night before your head hits the pillow.

However, doctors w:arn there’s a fine line between normal nighttime bathroom use and when your nocturia could be signs of a deeper problem.

What is a ‘normal’ amount of times to pee in the night?

Well, NHS doctors say it depends on your age, as normal can stretch from once per night to as many as four times as we get older because of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) essentially withering away with age.
