Hello @sbwitte. I self cath 3-4 times per day. At night, I get 3-6 hours of sleep before I wake up. Sometimes I have a strong urge to urinate and sometimes it’s weak. I take melatonin after self cathing in the middle of the night. Initially I could not fall back asleep. I now concentrate on deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to fall back asleep, which works more often than not. I usually awake around 6am and have to self cath a large amount again. I’ll self cath after lunch and before bed, which are usually smaller amounts. I started using the Calm app which has meditation on it that may help you relax and get back asleep. Hope this helps.
