For years, I couldn’t make it through the night without getting up to use the bathroom.
At first, it was once. Then it became twice. Some nights, even four times.
I’d tiptoe past the bed, trying not to wake my wife, but the sound of the door or the light would always do it.
We both ended up staring at the ceiling — tired, frustrated, and wondering if this was just part of getting older.
I tried drinking less water, avoiding coffee, even skipping dinner. Nothing changed.
