• Question: Even if you go to the toilet before bed, why do most people still need to pee when they wake up?

      Depends how much you drink before going to bed, your body is constantly processing liquids and even if you pee before you sleep, you sleep for a long time which is enough for the body to prepare the ‘next batch’ of pee for when you wake up 😀

      This is why it’s not recommended to drink caffeine before bedtime

      Even though your bodily processes tend to slow down while you’re asleep, they’re still going! So your bladder is still slowly filling
