i usually wake up 2 times a night to use the rest room, or for other reasons.

what is your weight, and general health condition. do you have high blood pressure, lots of stress?

i know when i am stressed out, or my BP is a tad high i have alot of trouble sleepng.

I usually wake up to pee 1-3 times a night and yes I weigh a lot loss in the morning. This just started for me a few years ago though - not sure why.

hey thanks for the replys. yeah i have had a little stress lately not to much though and my bp is just slightly high not much at all. i am 6'1" ish and i weigh 200 20 years old. any more help is welcome. i never thought about it until i came across some info that says you shouldnt need to go to pee at night and some things that can cause you to. none of them looked like somethin i want. i also have some connective tissue disorders though, such as dermatomyositis and muscular miositis (spelling of both is wrong i am sure but i dont feel like looking them up) and i did get kidney problems once from drug mixture i was taking. but i just seeing if any healthy people has this problem, because i have only had it since i started lifting and the lifting lifestyle. thanks for your help its much appreciated

Just don't drink very much water a couple hours before bed. I usually wake up twice or so.

I usually wake up at most once a night to pee but almost every night and usually twice a night, like once around 1 a.m. and again around 3/4 a.m. I get an incredible woody and it so hard and freaking throbbing that it kinda hurts and wakes me up.
I assume this is a good thing related to my body releasing testosterone and/or GH. The only bummer is I have no one to share it with ............

Sometimes if your hormones are a little out of whack (aldosterone and company), you can find yourself going to the bathroom a lot. I read somewhere (not something technical though) that you SHOULD have to pee at least three times a night (as a sign you are well hydrated). I usually get up once. I drink a lot/pee a lot during the day, but cut down before bed as I can't always get back to sleep.
