How many times a night do you pee?

[AlexParty]

How many? Want to see how many people are on the pee boat at night.

 

[Rugger]

1 if any, usually 0. I drink usually a gallon a day.

 

[vpower]

thats crazy^ I usually go bout 2 times for sure and maybe 3 but i sleep in till 9 30 so technically its morning by the third time

I usually only sleep for about 5-6 hours, rarely 7-8. I'm sure that helps.

 

[AlexParty]

I go to bed at 12 and wake up at 7am, I usually wake up twice in the night to pee. If I only wake up once then I'm lucky. I wish I could sleep 8 hrs straight.... wonder if waking up that much affects your gains?

 

[vpower]

I heard waking up early you boosts your testesterone anywayz..so i think you should be fine

Waking up early is cool but waking up in the middle of the night twice bugs me, feel as if it affects my gains. Work my ass off in the gym, eat all my meals and then wake up that much when I should be resting. Thank god for ZMA or else I'd be waking up 6 times.

I had to cut down my water intake so I wouldn't get up and piss so much.

Ya I did that for a few days and it works, I only get up like once to piss but with my meals I drink tons of water because that's the only way brown rice or cottage cheese is going down..

 

[Delta Force]

zero, I drink over a gallon a day and before bed time I'll drink 16oz with my protein and fortunately dont have to get up till 5AM when i wake up.

Really? Lucky guy...

 

[SilentBob187]

Are you talking just in the evening or actually while you're sleeping? I don't wet the bed if that's what you're asking

Usually once a night though.

 

[pmiller383]

No matter what time I go to sleep, I take a long whiz at 3:00 am and one short on at 5:30

I hear ya bro, I'm Austin freakin' Powers at around 5am. I don't 'wake up' until 7 or 8.

 

[Steveoph]

I tend to drink too much tea during the day now that I'm studying so much, and so I'll go about 3 times during my 8.5hr sleep, although before it was about 2x.

Interesting poll.

 

[Nightwanderer]

I sleep 8-10hrs a day and rarely have to get up in the night ever.

 

[LeeN]

I start to feel like an old man when I have to get up and drain the lizard in the middle of the night, so I have started to cut back on liquids before bed and usually don't have to get up as much.

Tea helps with studying?

 

[ACSlayer]

Tea helps with studying?

Theanine/Caffeine combo isn't bad for a mild boost.

 

[MrBrightside]

It's weird, I've recently just started to wake up at 4 AM on the dot and had to take a mad piss every night. Never happened before last Saturday.


Last Saturday...

Did you increase protein shakes? if yes did you add oil to them?

 

[AlexParty]

I had a sample of CMI's 'REM' which helps with sleep etc... I took that with ZMA and I slept great, I had to only wake up once to pee which is awesome but REM by 'CMI' is the worst tasting thing ever and even though I wouldn't buy, tastes like crap.

 

[Palo Alto Labs]

wow... i never get up to pee,... a lot of times i barely have to pee when i get up at 700am...
I dont know about you guys, but i drink 1.5 gal a day, but most of this is in the afternoon.
evening workouts, then a 24oz pwo drink'

I guess people's body just react differently but peeing a lot is only normal when you drink a lot of water and consume a lot of protein. Your kidneys are working to remove urea(the waste product of protein), from your bloodstream.

 

[playr101]

im always getting up to pee.. ahh\\

Nope, nothing like that. I've always taken the same protein shake w/o oil (fiber recently added, though) directly after lifting with some skim milk.

 

[mattikus]

I trained my bladder with gratuitous amounts of alcohol and beer for years. Now that I barely ever drink, I have the benefit of a big bladder.:head:
I can drink alot before bed and not go unless I want to. Usually have quite the full tank in the morning tho. Helps motivate me to get up.

EXACTLY man! I'm pissed everytime I get up to piss and think I'm missing out on potential gains! haha I know that sounds pathetic but shyt...I'd rather be sleeping regardless!

 

[maynehood171]

However if I protein shake before bed...I piss at least twice!

 

[RoadBlocK]

Haha, funny, but serious thread, I get out of bed almost once a night, I too drink alot of water, and sometimes I hit a shake before bed, and then sometimes I have to go twice. Unlike some of you guys, I dont have a set time though, it varys and some nights I dont wake up and go, but no matter what, I still go like mad when I finally get out of bed in the morning to get ready for work.

 

[maynehood171]

It's funny I swear but I've been getting up roughly same time for past 3 nights to piss my brains out...3:05am. So if you guys get to see that time...think of me

 

[rcaz01]

Me to right around 3:00 AM, and then once about an hour to hour and half after I go to bed...it really pisses me off the 3 AM thing has become pretty much a habit. The first one is due to the shake before bed I am sure...

If I have my protein in cottage cheese or yogurt it seems to help some...

 

[KSMA]

man...having to get up and pee would be nice for once for me...seems like about 3-4 hours into a good night sleep I have to take an emergency deuce that last like 20 minutes. Its kind of hard to go back to sleep after that. A 30 second pee would be a breeze.

 

[strester]

rarely have to get up in the middle of the night ... drain the bladder right before bed around 8:30/9p and then a long piss when I get up at 4am ... my morning ritual - turn off alarm, take shot glass of pills, wash it down with 10oz. water, piss for what seems like an eternity

 

[TheeBC]

I drink about 32-64 ounces of water before I go to bed. I dont wake up till morning having to PEE A **** LOAD.:cheers: Irs rare I do. Something has to startle me, yet im a average sleeper.

 

[r ich]

I am drinking about 1-1.5 gallons of water aday and at a minimum 2 times per night sometimes 3.

 

[T-Bone]

Damn you guys are lucky. A lot of times I am up on the hour every hour pissing.

 

[delsolrob]

Alex,

do you have to pee more when you're ON?

 

[delsolrob]

BTW: I usually have to get up at least twice every night to pee. but I've noticed that since I've been taking creatine mono that some nights it's more like 4 or 5:sad:

 

[ch4zl33]

Same lol

 

[griller88]

I'm with ya, man! I drink about gallon a day and wake up at least twice ,the other day was 5!! What can I do about it? What is ZMA?

 

[griller88]

I pee at least 3 times a night, the other night it was 5. It bothers me because I only get about 5 hours a night anyway.

 

[delsolrob]

I'm with ya, man! I drink about gallon a day and wake up at least twice ,the other day was 5!! What can I do about it? What is ZMA?

ZMA is Zinc, Magnesium and vitamin B6...improves quality of sleep and helps improve your hormone profiles while you sleep.

 

[griller88]

Does it make it hard to get up in the a.m. That has been a problem of mine when taking sleep aides.

 

[delsolrob]

ZMA is not a sleep aid, it should help give you deeper sleep though.

 

[griller88]

Thanks for your help!

 

[snookl187]

I usually go twice. I get 7 hours 9:30 to 4:30 (morning trainer). I also have 40g of whey with 2 cups of milk before bed.

Oh the result of water retention is a b*tch sometimes

 

[shaddow]

I NEVER, NEVER EVER EVER EVER used to wake up to pee until a little over a month ago. In the past month - month and a half I've been waking up twice a night to piss. Once around 3ish and again around 5-something. I thought it was weird and maybe I was beginning to have some sort of problem, but it's good to see that the majority of you guys are in the same boat.

 

[Adrenolin]

i sleep 12-14 hrs on a regular basis and usually drink 1.5-2 gallons of water a day....and i never have to wake up to piss. lol
