Increase the ZZZZZ’s

Middle of the night bathroom visits can be a thing of the past with Men’s Liberty.

Sleep supports health

Adequate sleep offers many overlooked benefits. These include stronger immune system, better mood, less susceptibility to chronic illness such as heart disease and diabetes, and clearer thinking. Yet most Americans get less than the recommended 7 to 8 hours sleep each night. Particularly if you are managing incontinence, you are likely among that number. Frequent middle of the night bathroom visits disrupt normal sleep patterns and have far ranging consequences for overall health.

Develop new sleep habits

There are things you can do to get more sleep. Follow the usual advice such as:

• Use your bed only for sleep and sex.
• Wind down an hour or so before bed (leave electronics out of this routine whenever possible).
• Avoid alcohol close to bedtime (alcohol makes it easy to fall asleep but harder to stay asleep).
• Create the right environment (appropriate darkness and temperature).
• Get up if you are awake and restless (enjoy an activity such as reading or writing until you feel sleepy, then get back into bed).
• Practice double-voiding to be sure your bladder is completely empty (urinate, wait a few minutes, then try and urinate again)
• Practice Kegel exercise to strengthen the pelvic floor. To identify the muscle, squeeze the muscles you would use to stop gas from passing. Alternatively, you can stop your urine midstream. Once you have identified the muscle, practice contracting it ten times in a row, up to three times each day.
