OK, when I sleep in the house in the bed like a normal person, I can sleep all night with out having to GET UP TO PEEEEEE !!!!!
But then, when I sleep out side in the hammock,,,,in the yard. or at camp,,,,, it never fails.....
BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRR,,, I gotta PEEEEEE...

I just figered somebody would know....................

My dog does the same thing when she gets excited...

I sleep in my hammock INDOORS, and usually I gotta pee twice a night. I think it has to do with sleeping so relaxed, good blood flow?? not sure, just a guess. But, anyway, I get the same effect indoors or out.

I can't second the second, but I can second the first.

I very rarely need to get up in the night from my bed, but every night in my hammock (indoors) has me climbing out at some point for the refresher. I can't explain it either, other than on those nights I'm more relaxed (nothing pressing the next morning) and maybe drink a bit more maybe??? BTW, my drink of choice at these times is non-alcoholic orange tang just so you know.

Try a pee bottle, you'll never look back.

Don't leave home without it ... in cold weather!

When you're cold, it's your body's natural tendency to conserve as much heat as possible. One way it conserves heat is by a process called cold diuresis. Basically, it takes a lot of calories/body heat to keep the urine in your bladder warm. So your body tries to stay warm by telling you to get rid of excess urine more frequently in order to direct the heat that would be warming urine in the bladder to the rest of the body. It's your body's way of trying to stay a little warmer.

Yeah, I'm guessing the trigger for this is, even though you are all ensconced in JRB warmness, you are still breathing chilled air.
