Is it normal to still wet the bed at 16?

Ten years ago, it was still long overdue time for me to have stopped peeing in the bed, but I couldn't. I've been doing it all my life. I'm such a deep sleeper that my bladder doesn't wake me up before emptying itself. It's been a constant problem and source of fear. Every sleepover, vacation, summer camp, I'm terrified of what I'll wake up to. I can't control it, and I have to leave it up to fate if I can't manage to go before drifting off. I've looked it up online and found a video that says 1% of adults have this problem, but it just doesn't help. The video was some doctor, and there was blatant, outright laughing in the clip. I need to hear this from other people: am I normal?

    I had problems with this until I turned 17. It was always embarrassing for me, so I sympathize with you! I saw doctors who recommended many things, but honestly, the only thing that did it for me was to just stop wearing any kind of protective padding or anything. I was so nervous that I would wet the bed that I began to sleep lighter and wake up regularly enough to use the bathroom. Also, try not to drink a bunch of water/ liquids past 7:00 or 8:00pm, and drink more throughout the rest of the day. Or, you can even try taking vitamins to help your bladder get stronger. NEVER EVER try holding it in longer during the day though... This could just get you a UTI infection. Good luck, I feel for you!!

    You need to see a doctor. The medical term is "nocturnal enuresis" if you want to google it.

    I would try a few things ,during the day drink a little more than usual and make your bladder waitso it has to get stronger.
    You can buy an alarm that goes off as you start to wet the bed and this trains you to get up .
    I think limmit drinking just before bed and pee just before your shower / bath and again just before geting into bed so you really empty your bladder
    Try to do that peeing and shortly after peeing if you have waited a long time during the day or after you get up in the morning so get up pee get dressed and try again just before going down to breakfast training your bladder to empty helps it last longer before it gets full .

  • I had a problem with bed wetting for a while. I am a very heavy sleeper and I when I had to go to the bathroom I would actually dream about it. In my dream I would be sitting on the toilet and I would pee. Then I'd wake up and realize I was dreaming. I eventually learned how to realize I was dreaming and hold it in before I peed, which would make me wake up.

    This indeed does happen to some older kids. Even sixteen. My son takes a drug called desmopressin at night, and it keeps him 100 percent dry. And to my understanding, the drug has no negative side effects and even has some neuroprotective benefits. If you're uncomfortable taking a drug indefinitely, you could take it only when you plan on being at sleepovers, campouts, etc. Best of luck, and you're normal!!

    I don't remember what it is called or anything but I believe there is some sort of condition where you're unable to control bed wetting.
