Could stress play a role?
Yes. An overactive nervous system can intensify the feeling of urgency, even when the bladder isn't full.
A simple exercise can promote relaxation:
- Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds.
- Exhale gently for 6 seconds.
- Repeat for 1 to 2 minutes.
This abdominal breathing activates the parasympathetic system, which is conducive to quality and more continuous sleep.
