What Is Nocturia?
Nocturia is the need to wake up during the night to urinate.
Many adults can sleep for six to eight hours without needing to use the bathroom. However, people with nocturia may wake up one or more times during the night to urinate.
Repeated bathroom trips can interrupt the normal sleep cycle and leave a person feeling tired during the day.
Nocturia should also be distinguished from bedwetting, which involves involuntary urination during sleep.
