if i am awake and drinking like I usually do i’ll pee extremely frequently and the accumulation of that fluid is never apparent when looking at me but when i wake up i have so much stuff to pee out that accumulated at the bladder that i look like I’ve just found out i’m pregnant why is it that if i tried to hold it in when i was awake i’d be in a great deal of discomfort but i don’t wake up in discomfort but am visibly swollen with fluid

Wait a while. Around 50 or so, that will most likely be a thing of the past. Then you’ll post, “I have to pee every 2 hours when I’m sleeping. How do I stop?” And you’ll realize that a cup of coffee, water, liquids of any sort should stop about 3 hours before bedtime, so you can wake up only once. With lips that are stuck together, dried sinuses that whistle Bach, and a mouth that tastes like a bear pooped in it, and all the flies in the county came and died on top of the pile.

Or so I’ve heard.
