eli5 why do we wake up from deep sleep to pee but don’t actually wet the bed ?
In: 3347
I had surgery a couple months ago that required me to lay flat on my back for hours. I drank a lot of water while laying there, and had been given a lot of fluids during the surgery itself. An hour or two into laying there, I really had to pee. Like, I was in pain I had to pee so bad.
They’d put this little.contraption between my legs that would suction up my pee, I just had to let go. It took 20 minutes for me to get my body to let loose, despite the extreme discomfort and even pain I was in over how badly I needed to pee. My body refused to let loose while laying in bed, it just seemed to know that was not the correct place to pee.
I peed two more times before I was allowed to move around, and they went much smoother. My body realized it was ok to piss the bed. But man, that first pee was such a struggle.
