@jrvegan I find that when I can limit my fluid intake after 7p.m. my urine output overnight is more easily maintained. Do I get a bit thirsty? yes, and that is where sucking on crushed ice can come to my rescue. In the morning, no matter the whether, I like a 16oz glass of crushed ice and water, to break my thirst.
Having CKD due to medication side effects can make the whole thing a bit more of a challenge, as there is no underlying issue [diabetes or high blood pressure] to address in light of the kidney compromise. Having nocturia may mean a visit to a urologist.

Thanks, again. Yes, despite hydration, I usually cut the water after 7 PM - has not helped. My sleep times and number of wakeups has no consistency - every night is a new adventure. What is consistent is an average of 6.5 oz. per trip overnight compared to 2 oz. per trip in daytime.
I also drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. My BP is actually trending hypertensive.
I've seen 2 urologists, endocrinologist, cardiologist, acupuncturist, pelvic floor muscle specialist, working on my 2nd nephrologist and ready to schedule a functional medicine practice. Thanks for responding.
Does anyone out there experience extreme volume overnight? Not just frequency but triple normal volume (which causes the frequency, right?)
