Do you know that waking up to urinate could
actually decrease your productivity?
This is what elderly persons who have difficulty
sleeping may discover, especially if they find that
their problems worsen if they have to get up in the
middle of the night to urinate, according to new
research.
The problem is known as nocturia, and according
to the researchers, it has been linked not only to
sleep disruptions but to "significant reductions" in
both work productivity and leisure activity as well.
They polled 261 women and 385 men who suffer
from the condition over a 14-day period, asking
them about the impact it has on their ability to
perform their work-related and other daily tasks.
As it turns out, nocturia decreased on-the-job
productivity by 24 percent and the ability to
perform recreational activity by 34 percent.
A paper detailing the results of the research is
published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine
on March 15.
Researchers also reported that more than half (54
percent) of all nighttime sleep disruptions were
associated with the need to urinate, and that
people who woke up remained awake an average
of 11.5 percent longer on nights when they had to
make a trip to the restroom.
"Nocturia is a common problem affecting around a
third of adults, but its burden is underestimated
and it is often dismissed as being less serious than
other chronic conditions in terms of impact on
quality of life and societal costs.
Data show that nocturia negatively affects both
sleep and daytime performance and its impact on
work productivity is in line with many other
chronic conditions. Patients with nocturia should
seek specific treatment for this debilitating
condition.
It is expected that proper treatment of insomnia
might reduce the occurrence of nocturia.
