Message: <blockquote data-quote="LancsCarol" data-source="post: 2741898" data-attributes="member: 74296">As a woman who has been up in the night to pee 3 or 4 times EVERY night I can remember, from teens to 70s, I consider it nomal. However, I usually get straight back to sleep, so it barely affects my life. (Except the very few times I camped with the loo facilities yards away  - that wakes you up properly.)  Becoming T1 DM at age 65 has had no effect on frequency or quantity. The only beneficial change, in my early 60s, was finally getting some prescribed tablets which slow down the urgency, so I rarely now wet my clothes (which had happened far too often, all my life). Staying awake after peeing is usually because something is bothering me, such as being obliged to be up and ready for a meeting, appointment, flight, train trip or whatever.  Basically, nothing to do with the bladder and all to do with the mind. Relax about it?</blockquote>
