The pelvic floor plays an important role in your sleep patterns, especially regarding nighttime urination. Frequent trips to the bathroom during the night might suggest that you’re not achieving the critical REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep. This phase is essential for emotional balance, memory retention, and learning.
In REM sleep, the body produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which decreases urine production to help maintain fluid levels. Frequent nighttime urination may signal that you’re not reaching REM sleep effectively, which could affect your overall health and sleep quality. To improve bladder function and sleep, consider staying properly hydrated before bedtime, avoiding bladder irritants, and adopting healthy bladder habits.
