Prostate and Bladder Issues: What to do?

I’m 77 with BPH. I used a bottle overnight while lying in bed for years and always awoke to pee 4 or 5 times. Then, I realized that gravity will further empty my bladder while standing up. So now I’m up only 2 or 3 times, even though I get up and walk down the hallway to our toilet. The bottle idea is great for urgency emergencies, like pulling over in urban areas to use in the car, but not so good for overnight, in my experience.

The bottle idea is for post prostatectomy surgery incontinence. I don't want to literally get out of bed and run. I'm the type that rarely gets back to sleep, hence the bottle. Roll & go.
