If you wake up often at night to urinate, it can affect your sleep and quality of life. This page offers simple, practical tips to help you sleep better while managing nocturia.

Tips for a better sleep

Getting good sleep can help you wake up less often to use the bathroom at night. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Keep a regular sleep routine
    Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This helps your body get used to sleeping through the night.
  • Move your body during the day 
    Staying active can make it easier to fall asleep and improve the quality of your rest.
  • Find the right amount of sleep for you 
    Sleeping too little or too much can make it harder to stay asleep at night.
  • Make your bedroom comfortable
    A quiet, dark, and cozy space can help you sleep better.
  • Be aware of nicotine
    If you smoke, remember that nicotine can make it harder to sleep well.
