Strategies for Dealing With Night Time Incontinence
Many of our customers struggle with incontinence at night so we wanted to let you know that you are not alone. There are several ways to head off night time urinary incontinence. Try the following tips:- Limit your intake of fluid either just after dinner or a couple of hours prior to bedtime.
- Reduce your intake of bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol, especially in the evening.
- Elevate your legs when resting during the afternoon, which will stimulate the flow of fluid in the body. Compression stockings also could help.
- Use bladder training exercises to improve your urinary control. Practice holding on to your urine during the daytime.
- Purchase a bedwetting alarm. This device wakes you up when you begin to wet yourself, either with a sound or a vibration. Often these alarms can help train your body to wake you up before you wet the bed.
