The nocturnal woods dwarfs sneak up and put your hand in a warm cup of water
So, I have sleep apnea, use a CPAP, and have not figured how too bring the CPAP and a power source camping with me. So on camping trips, I wake up several times anyway. And with the wakefulness comes the awareness that I am full to overflowing, and need to go behind my tarp and attend to business. I thought it was just that, now that I am awake, I am aware of needing to pee, sometimes several times per night. At home, I can sleep through the night the majority of the time. So, if I am sleeping (with CPAP mask clamped on) I am not needing to pee.
But the explanations I read here are compelling. It could be the cold air outside of the quilt, or the feet slightly elevated, or the processing of extra fluids present due to the activity. I think on the next car camp trip, I will bring the CPAP machine, a battery, and see what happens.

Not only ground-camping, I even have the experience at home, when the thermostat goes down overnight in the winter. If we don't have enough covers on the bed I usually figure it out after the second trip to the bathroom.You're all overthinking it, it's just the motion of the ocean from swinging in a hammock.
I'm still new to hanging at night, I'm curious if any of you have the same issue when ground camping? (Don't flame me! I know, most of you haven't crawled into a tent in decades.)

Listen today to our latest episode to interesting conversations about hammock camping: Hang Your Own Hang Podcast
At times camping leads to increased beer drinking also, which is a diuretic. This is probably why I have to go more often when tent camping lol, haven't had my first hang yet since getting my hammock yesterday so I haven't tested.

At night our kidneys tend to focus on our lower torso because they don't have to fight gravity. I think a hammock makes it that much easier for our bodies to do so. I urinate way more in a hammock regardless of temperature or what I drink. I think the notion of a more comfortable and unconstrained lay makes it all work better. Just a thought.

OMG. I slept outside last night and this morning I thought about asking this exact question. Went before i got into my hammock, then went twice during the night. Tried tying it into a knot, but I couldn't wait. I never get up at home.
I think it has to do with the position we're laying. My theory is the slight bend at the waste puts pressure on the bladder causing a greater feeling of needing to go.

I agree. Don't pregnant women have to go often from the baby pushing? Maybe it's sort of like that but obviously to a lesser extent.
That's what I thought too there have been some really interesting other ideas on what might be happening, personally I think it's probably a combination of many factors. And my least favorite thing about fall/winter hammickn.
