triple urine volume overnight

@jrvegan I was extremely sleep deprived and was waking up every hour to go and I went to doctors being tested for many things and finally told it was not any medical issue and I should cut back on liquid before bed which helped very little. This was my highest priority until I found out I had prostate cancer. I had a radical prosectomy and was put on a catheter for a week and I was feeling like I was in heaven. I was sleeping through the night but saw I was producing 2000 to 3000ml (about 2 to 3 quarts) of urine at night and only about one quart during the day. The catheter was removed and I went back to no sleep. I went back to my Dr and he recommended I elevate my legs during the day even though he did not see swelling in my legs. I started sitting in a recliner with the legs up (I do not fully recline but it may be better) and I started to get blocks of three to four hours sleep. I was producing twice as much urine during the day than at night. SLEEP is precious. When I think back I realize even when I was lying in bed awake for an hour I had to go after an hour. I could go many hours during the day and the only difference I was lying down. Try it and hopefully it works. While sometimes I do not get to elevate my feet during the day I do not sleep well. This was not originally clear to me since I have pelvic pain which causes me urge incontinence/wearing heavy protection. I hope this helps you, let me know if it works. Best wishes and happiness

Tim, I appreciate you telling your story. Hope you are cancer-free. I had the Uro Lift prostate procedure to open up the urethra but that helped flow, not the volume problem.
When I watch tv in the living room instead of desktop, my feet are usually elevated. My overnights stay the same either way. I would kill for a 3 to 4 hr. sleep. Maybe I will elevate higher.
And I've mentioned experimenting with naps and cutting off evening liquids - nothing has affected my overnight data, averaging 1.25 hr. of sleep and 6.5 oz every hr.
Thanks very much; wishing you well also.
