Why do you wake up to urinate at night (and how to stop it for good!)

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.
