HOW DOES DRINKING ALCOHOL CAUSE BEDWETTING AS AN ADULT?

It is not uncommon for people to wake up with a wet bed after a heavy night of binge drinking. Binge Drinking and nighttime bedwetting go hand in hand. This can be due to the effects of alcohol on the kidneys and the brain. You go out with your friends and have a few drinks, maybe go to a party and drink more. When you are in for the night you fall fast asleep. After a night of rest, you wake up in a puddle. You begin to wonder how this could happen to you, an adult with no bedwetting history. You have not had to worry about peeing in the bed since you were a child and it happened now as an adult. It may seem like a sensitive subject, but incontinence after a night of drinking is more common than most would expect.

The human brain produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which tells the kidneys not to make too much urine.  Alcohol prevents the brain from making enough ADH and the kidneys make more urine than when people are sober.  During the day, extra urine in the bladder leads to more trips to the bathroom.  During the night, the bladder can become overfull and release urine into the bed sheets during sleep. This is especially true when alcohol is consumed during the evening before going to bed.

Alcohol depresses the central nervous system, slowing down activity in the brain. People become less aware that they need to use the bathroom after consuming alcohol.  They may sleep through the urge to urinate and wake up with a wet bed.  Consuming large amounts of alcohol can also lead people to do things that they would not do when they are sober.  They might become confused and think that they are using the bathroom as they urinate in the bed.  

Alcohol irritates the wall of the bladder, especially when it is consumed with energy drinks.  Caffeine makes people feel less sleepy after drinking alcohol, leading them to drink more than they normally would.  Caffeine also increases urine output and stimulates the bladder.  Mixing caffeine and alcohol is an excellent recipe for a wet bed in the morning.  

Solutions and tips to avoid bed wetting after drinking.

Limit alcohol intake and drink it slowly.  

Do not mix alcoholic beverages with caffeine.

Make an extra trip to the bathroom right before going to bed.  

Set an alarm to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

What Can I do about Frequent Bedwetting?

Bedwetting after consuming large amounts of alcohol can be a sign that drinking is no longer under control. If it happens regularly, professional help for alcohol abuse may be needed.  A waterproof mattress is an option if incontinence becomes a persistent problem.

SaniSnooze offers a tool to help with bedwetting in all ages. Our Mattresses are 100% waterproof and encased in a vinyl membrane cover to ensure the mattress stays clean. Shop our Cloud Mattress for a clean cooling comfort.

BEDWETTING AND INCONTINENCE – WHY DO CHILDREN WET THE BED?

Children wet the bed when their body is unable to hold pee. Inability to hold urine is called urinary incontinence, enuresis, or commonly known as bedwetting.  Wetting the bed during the night is called nocturnal enuresis.  Boys under age 6 and girls under age 5 may wet the bed overnight because they are still developing bladder control. Occasional accidents are common for small children.  Child bedwetting and incontinence does not mean that toilet training has failed. Children who have never achieved bladder control at night have primary nocturnal enuresis.  Children who stayed dry at night for at least 6 months before wetting the bed have secondary nocturnal enuresis.

SHOP WATERPROOF KIDS MATTRESSES

Bedwetting is not under the child’s conscious control and is not done on purpose.  Nocturnal enuresis typically goes away on its own as the child grows older.  Parents should not hesitate to consult with the pediatrician about bed wetting to find the solution that works best for their child.  Children in their late teen years or who started wetting the bed after staying dry for long periods should be carefully evaluated to rule out possible physical or mental health problems.

Common Causes & Risk Factors

It is not uncommon for children to start wetting the bed as they struggle to deal with stressful events such as divorce, changing schools or losing a loved one. Bedwetting can be caused by any type of stress. Deep sleepers are less able to awaken from sleep in response to a full bladder.  Children are also more likely to wet the bed if one or both parents has a history of nocturnal enuresis.

Overactive bladder is a common cause of bed wetting in preschool children. Symptoms of an overactive bladder include urinating more frequently than usual, rushing to the bathroom, and daytime incontinence.  Pediatric sleep apnea is often due to large tonsils and adenoids, and parents may notice that the child snores loudly overnight. Sleep apnea causes increased urine production during the night and can cause nocturnal enuresis.  Constipation can cause bedwetting due to pressure on the bladder from an enlarged bowel.  Excessive urine production during the night from kidney disease or hormone imbalance can also lead to nocturnal enuresis.

Talking with your Doctor about Children Incontinence and Bedwetting

Parents should let the pediatrician know about bed wetting after age 7, enuresis after long periods of staying dry.  The pediatrician will ask about the child’s medical history and urinary symptoms.  A urine sample may be collected to check for a bladder infection or kidney disease.  

Important symptoms to report:

Pain or burning with urination

Unusual thirst and excessive urination

Significant weight gain or loss

Dark, cloudy, discolored or foul-smelling urine

Loud snoring with daytime sleepiness

Numbness, tingling and pain in the legs

Helpful information

includes:

Frequency of bedwetting episodes

Daytime urination patterns

Daily fluid intake, especially afternoon/evening

Psychosocial concerns

Protecting the child’s feelings – Being Aware Of Social Situations

Bedwetting can make children feel embarrassed and anxious. This can lead to low self-esteem and quality of life.  Schoolwork and friendships may be affected. Children cannot control bedwetting and nighttime incontinence is not their fault.  Parents should maintain a caring, patient attitude rather than shaming or punishing the child.  This will help to instill confidence and motivate the child to remain optimistic about nighttime dryness.  Parents can encourage older children to help clean up and assist with laundry.  This will help them to take responsibility with a feeling of empowerment.

Preventing Your Child from Bedwetting – Tips & Treatment Options

Basic interventions that can help prevent bedwetting or incontinence:

Eat a healthy diet to prevent constipation

Avoid caffeine, carbonated drinks, and citrus juices

Increase fluid intake during the day

Scheduled bathroom use every few hours during the day

Limit fluid intake after school, in the evening, and before bed

Use the bathroom twice before going to bed

Nightlights in the bathroom and hallway

Parents may wake the child once during the night to urinate.  A diary may be used to track wet and dry nights to determine which interventions are helpful. Regularly scheduled bathroom trips timed at increasing intervals will help the child’s bladder become used to holding urine for longer periods of time. Counseling may be beneficial for children who are struggling with stress and anxiety.  Medications may be used for older children to treat bedwetting caused by bladder infection, kidney disease or hormone imbalances..

Disposable incontinence underwear can help children sleep comfortably through the night.  Protective creams may be needed to prevent skin breakdown. A waterproof incontinence mattress or mattress cover is extremely helpful for easy morning clean up, odor prevention, and to keep the mattress sanitary and free from germs and mold.
