10 Lifestyle Changes to Help Decrease Nightly Urination

Tired of midnight sprints to the bathroom? We recommend trying out these 10 lifestyle changes (alongside taking Golden Slumber) to decrease your nighttime urination.

Cut off your fluid intake a few hours before bed (yes, even alcohol …). No one wants to play "musical chairs" with the bathroom all night! Track your hydration on your phone to nail your evening routine.*

Coffee and booze can turn your bladder into a party animal. Keep the nightcap to a minimum, and let your bladder rest easy.*

Salt can be a sneaky culprit in your nighttime restroom adventures. Skip the chips and go easy on the salty snacks before bed.*

 

Some meds might be egging on your bladder. Chat with your doc about timing them right to keep your nights peaceful.*

Train your bladder like a champ! Stick to a daytime schedule for bathroom breaks to keep things calm at night.*

If you experience swollen ankles, elevate your legs or consider wearing compression stockings to alleviate pressure on your bladder.*

Set the mood for a snooze fest. A cool, dark, and quiet room is the ultimate zen zone for deep sleep.*

Leaning forward and rocking can encourage urination. After you've finished, tighten your pelvic floor muscles to help ensure your bladder is completely empty.*

Jot down your liquid intake, bathroom visits, and how much you're going. This detective work can reveal patterns and help your healthcare provider fine-tune your routine.*

 

Some supplements can help reduce those nightly urges. Do a little research and see what works for you.*
