Nocturia is the need to get up regularly at night to urinate. Most people can sleep six to eight hours without urinating, but people with nocturia wake up at least once a night regularly to use the bathroom.
Multiple scenarios can cause nocturia, including drinking too much fluid too close to bedtime or taking diuretics. Medical conditions that can cause nocturia include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or sleep disorders.
