Trial removal of catheter

One other thing I'd love to clarify, please.. In the hospital, the nurse explaining the catheter before I went home said that to use the night bag, attach it to the bottom of the leg bag.

I spent weeks watching YouTube videos (mainly American) about the day/night bags & they all disconnected the leg bag & replaced it with the night bag. Makes sense to me.
I asked my sister-in-law (nurse) in Australia & they attach the night bag to the day bag.
It all makes the tubing really long & annoying in bed.
What's the standard procedure - or do we have some weird down-under method?

I never used the night bag - long tube that goes into the bag in the floor. I thought I might roll over and pull something out.
The regular leg bag filled and oddly enough it woke me up when it was full just as if my bladder was full and I had to get up to pee.
