How do you physically do that. Like there were times in my past where I slept into 11am pretty regularly, it's a choice you make. Your body knows what's happening and once it's light I could wake up at any point and know what was happening.
**** So strange to be THAT dead to the world that you can get to 11am without having any clue what's happening**.**
I’d be on my 4th or 5th piss by 11am

Wait until get older and it'll be more like 6am.

@Kiwiwomble I was the opposite. I went through my uni years averaging three hours sleep a night. Or so I'm told. They're a bit of a blur ....

@MN5 that is something that plagued me for years, although I do drink alot of fluids.
Didnt matter when I stopped drinking, I'd need to get up 2 or 3 times in the night (this has been the case for as long as I can remember)
But I had always been someone who went for a piss pretty much when I felt I needed one (almost always the first to break the seal when having beers with the boys) a very bad habit to get into.
So changing that habit, and I started taking a prostate supplement with saw palmetto in it, now, I get up once, sometimes not at all.

Yeah a slightly more recent thing for me, I’ve always been a late starter.
As I recall it started last summer on holiday in the bay when I was sleeping in the garage as the house was full of other family. The garden got a few impromptu 2am waterings……
Will look into something like you’ve mentioned because as I get older ( as we all are ) I crave a good nights sleep more than ever.

So much of needing to go for a piss is in yr head. My partner was a bed wetter as a child so she was sent to hypnosis to stop it. Works so well that the moment she even thinks about needing to piss or feels the slightest bladder pressure she has to go. IMMEDIATELY. Then pisses a teaspoon. Fucking annoying
-
@dogmeat absolutely, that was part of my problem....I would be lying there about to go to sleep, went for a piss 20 mins before, but I'd lie awake thinking, "I should have a piss" and then I'd try to squeeze out the last drops, or I'd wake in the night for whatever reason, not really needing to go, but I'd get up and go, thinking if I dont I will wake in an hour needing to go, or lie awake thinking about if I should get up....

My problem is that if I ever wake up during the night then I need a piss. So the combination of very loud Australian wildlife (possums fark em) and my son routinely coming home from a night out means Im woken multiple times and thus need to piss multiple times.

for actual fucks sake, this dude is only casual so told him to give it a couple of days for the corporate machine to finish his onboarding, call back in today for the team meeting (9am) so i can introduce him to the rest of the team and then finish all his HSE stuff, came by my desk at 830 and said he wasnt sure if he should come in on call in so played it safe and came in, cool.....then i couldnt find him and i text him to ask where he was and he said he'd left his computer in his car.....just came back at 930...completely missed the team meeting...seemed to have no idea what i was talking about....

@Kiwiwomble Is he an engineer? And if so, how on earth did he finish a degree?
If you're operating on a three strikes policy, then he's got one chance left...
