Why do I urinate at least 2 times during the night in a Hammock

This might be an interesting issue for moderators, given what is legal and illegal in various states. In Oregon, we are allow a legal medicine that is not available in all states. As an old dude, I find a cookie or short draw at night helps me sleep better. In fact, even in a hammock, I only get up once or not at all in the middle of the night. And no, there are no "accidents" if I don't get up. I do make sure not to tank up on liquids at dinner time.

So, on the old person theme. One thing you young'ens have to look forward to is as you get older, you'll find that "hit the pillow and be out all night long" type of sleep isn't always available. And because you aren't sleeping as soundly, maybe its easier for internal conditions to wake you up instead of waiting until morning.

I mostly sleep outside on the porch. But I've found that in a hammock or in a bed, under normal (non-medicated) conditions, I get up in the night as often in both cases.

For me I think it probably has something to do with the 4 pack of double IPA pounders I drank before going to bed.

Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom?
Because the "P" is silent!

Dad Joke with dad avator - love it. Just the type of humor that goes with hammock hanging.

130 days of consecutive indoor hanging now (minus days I hung outdoors). Still more bathroom breaks than a bed. Strange. And it's not just that but the volume. TMI I know, but my bladder must be able to stretch 6x it's normal size; I almost fell back to sleep standing up.

I'm an indoor (and outdoor) hanger, and it's the same for me. Yet despite the extra interruptions during the night, I still sleep WAY better than I ever did in a bed.

It really is amazing. I woke up at 5:05am then went back to sleep almost instantly. My alarm went off at 6:38am and it felt like I slept another 3 hours. DEEP sleep!
