🌙 Why Do We Pee So Much at Night?
Before we get into remedies, it’s important to understand why this happens. Waking up frequently to urinate can be caused by several factors:
Excessive Evening Fluid Intake – Drinking lots of water, tea, or alcohol before bed can overwhelm the bladder.
Caffeine and Alcohol – Both act as diuretics, which increase urine production.
Bladder Irritants – Foods like citrus, spicy meals, and artificial sweeteners may irritate the bladder.
Underlying Health Conditions – Diabetes, urinary tract infections, and prostate enlargement in men are common culprits.
Age-Related Changes – As we age, our bodies produce less of the hormone that helps us retain fluid at night.
Understanding the cause is the first step toward finding relief.
