If holding bladder is harmful, why isn’t it an issue while sleeping?

Question

I’ve read that holding your bladder can cause various complications such as UTIs, but do these potential complications stop when asleep? Why?

Answer 1

1: Generally all body processes slow down during sleep, so the filtration process that creates urine also slows down.

2: You consistently produce urine at a certain rate during the day because you’re drinking and eating. You’re not doing those things while you sleep, so the urine production slows as intake slows.

3: The actual risk of UTI from holding it over a short period of time has been kind of overblown. Yes, it’s true that people should have free and open access to bathroom facilities, but the whole “if I don’t get to go at my instant whim I cOuLd gEt A dIseaSe” thing is, for the most part, for most people…just not accurate.
