Thanks for the response, sorry about typo!
2 Drs said to me that they have tried EVERY MEDICATION THST RXISTS TO HRLP ME SLEEP! I said okay but I get up to go to the bathroom so how are sleep meds going to help me?
Oh yes, you have OAB, well that has to be treated first!
Yes, I know I say I’m trying, but this far NO LUCK!!

I’ve had this problem most of my life(71f), so I can sympathize. I did turn out to have sleep apnea, so do get tested for that. However, the CPAP has not stopped the bathroom trips in my case.
You’ve had this about 3 months? Can you think back to any stressful event that happened? Any new illnesses or medical conditions?
Instead of a diaper, I sleep with a large water proof bedpad in case of any accidents.
I use Xanax to relax me, and it does put me to sleep. Yes, I still wake up but I go right back to sleep.
A lot of things can cause this: heart or kidney issues, diabetes, lack of anti-diuretic hormone at night, emotional stress, apnea, constipation,uti’s, etc. Have they checked for everything?
