Sleep Disturbances and Incontinence

February 8, 2018

By Robert Recker

Getting enough sleep is crucial to your health and well-being. Nighttime sleep disruptions are commonly associated with incontinence. When a person has a void and is feeling wet and cold, it is instinct to want to get up to use the bathroom or change the product and clothes. For some people, maybe even you, this occurs 4 or more times in a single night!

As we age, we need fewer hours of sleep to feel rested and energized for the day. For instance, newborns typically require 14-17 hours of sleep, teens range from 8-10, and older adults (65+) generally need 7-8 hours of sleep.

However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 3 adults do not get enough sleep! The CDC found that 35% of American adults get less than 7 hours of sleep.

Side Effects of Too Little Sleep

• Daytime fatigue
• Yawning
• Weakened immune system
• Low sex drive
• Mood changes
• Poor balance
• Trouble with thinking and concentration
• Weight Gain
