Now here is where you need to pay attention.
Occasional nighttime urination is normal. But if it happens frequently, it could signal something deeper.
Watch out for these signs
• Waking up more than two times every night
• Feeling extremely tired during the day
• Sudden increase in frequency
• Swelling in legs or ankles
• Difficulty falling back asleep
Studies suggest that frequent nighttime urination is linked to reduced sleep quality, which can affect memory, mood, and overall health.
