7:05 How to sleep better

If you’re dealing with frequent urination at night, the problem is not your bladder. Waking up to pee, even just once, can wreck your sleep and wreak havoc on your health.

Some of the consequences of poor sleep are as follows:

• Slower metabolism

• Increased cortisol

• Increased risk of type 2 diabetes

• Insulin resistance

• Increased risk of high blood pressure

• Decreased ability to detoxify the brain

• Poor mood, anxiety, and depression

• Decreased cognitive function, focus, and memory

• Lower testosterone

• Feeling tired all day

Approximately 1 in 5 men and 1 in 4 women in the U.S. get up at least once or twice to urinate every night, and aging is not the problem!

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays a crucial role in preventing excessive urination. A problem with this hormone affects water balance, causing you to produce more urine, especially at night. Too much salt and not enough potassium, blood sugar issues, and insulin resistance all affect ADH and can cause you to produce more urine to eliminate excess salt and sugar.

Other factors that affect ADH include:

• Caffeine

• Sugar/starch

• Excess protein

• Alcohol

Vitamin B1 and magnesium are key nutrients involved with bladder control. If you’re dealing with nighttime urination and only a small volume of urine comes out, suspect a deficiency in one of these nutrients.

To sleep better and reduce frequent urination at night, try the following tips: • Avoid alcohol

• No fluids 3 hours before bed

• Pre-load fluids in the earlier part of the day

• Avoid snacks and salty foods before bed

• Increase potassium intake early in the day

• Reduce caffeine intake

• No snacking/reduce carbs and sugar

• Avoid large amounts of protein at night

• Increase vitamin B1 and magnesium
