    My best friend gets like this and she says her saving grace is cranberry juice - if its not something serious, this would definitely be an option to help.

    This is WAY more common than you might think, and is something that most of us do NOT have to grin and bear :) The reasons that could be causing this are more numerous that you could mention, and most will be identified and remedied with a quick trip to the Docs :))))
    Don't let frequent 'urges' impact your lifestyle any longer, please go see your GP xxx

    Stop drinking fluids about 1 or 2 hours before you go to sleep. I know I have to.

    1. Are there any "natural diuretics" (Google them) that you've recently added as a staple to your diet?
    2. Started any new workout routines that beat the heck out of your core?

    I don't think I need to explain the diuretic explanation. Core workouts...if you're doing anything to build core muscles, you are aggravating the muscles *right* near the bladder and causing them to swell - in turn giving your bladder less storage room. When I first started doing planks I would notice that the stomach/pelvic muscles would randomly (and painlessly) contract on their own and I doubt that stopped while I slept. Eating foods that make you gassy or constipated can also give you less bladder room. Are you snacking on gassy foods right before bed?

    And now I'll cover my *kitten* and say: "Call a doctor because I'm not one." X-)
