I often wake up with a sensation of peeing (which is in fact happening). Over a period of tiem this has replacrd waking up wanting to pee urgently.

@Dribbler, Thanks for replying, and that happens to me sometimes too. Actually there have been a couple of times in my life when (mostly because of high stress levels making it difficult or impossible to keep up with laundry) I decided to start wearing pull-ups to bed on a regular basis... and that was exactly what happened to me both of those times. Over time I started waking up needing to pee less and less often, and instead started waking up while actually peeing and unable to stop. This was gradually replaced in turn by a much greater frequency of sleeping through peeing completely and not waking up until morning. Has that been your experience also?

usually when I wake up with a full bladder before I wet I have to go right away. Sometimes it won't feel that urgent but as soon as I get out of bed urgency kicks in and I barely make it or wet a little on the way. Lately I've only been wetting the bed about once every week and half so I've been rushing to the bathroom as soon as I wake up. There has been times where I would wake up in the middle of my sleep time having to pee and I would feel really tired and it wouldn't feel that urgent so I'd be lazy and went back to sleep. When I do this I always wake up wet and feeling immature for not getting up and going when I know I have this problem. Now when I feel really tired or have been drinking I put on a diaper at bedtime. I would wear a diaper everynight if I could afford it, but since I don't wet everynight I just wear them when I think I'm most at risk. Sometimes this results in having to wash the bedding a little more often but I'm saving on diapers.

What I have found is that bed protection pads are very effective for the times when I am not diapered but sudden;y need to go. They are a lot cheaper than diapers and last for days if you don't need to wet them. They are uncomfortable to sleep on if wet - but can be rolled up and got rid of easily- and they do save a lot of laundry.

If I wake up needing to go, best to get up and GO. Alternatively, if I wake up needing to go, but have already wet my bed or diaper earlier in the evening, then I often supplement the wetting, since the bed is going to get changed anyway.

I wake up with urges all the time. I however cannot make it to the bathroom.

I rarely wake with a full bladder, sometimes I wake while wetting my self but usually I am already wet when I wake in the morning having slept through my wetting.

A lot of times i will wet the bed shortly before my alarm goes off.....or I will start wetting as my alarm is going off. Like others have said I admit if I wake up with a full bladder and my pull up is wet if I think it can take another wetting I just stay in bed....getting up isnt preventing anything since I have to clean up anyway and I would rather just sleep.

I have to admit I rarely get up to the toilet if I do wake up needing to pee. I usually just wet my nappy and go back to sleep.

It is extremely rare that I will have a dry night; often requiring a change during the night despite using Tena slip maxi all in one nappies. Almost without exception the moment I get up and stand up in the morning I will wet again, frequently with a pretty full bladder.

I have that problem in the morning when I wake up and can not hold it in at all.
