Drinking too much water or consuming foods with strong diuretic effects before bedtime can increase urine production and lead to frequent urination at night, thereby affecting sleep. Prostate gland enlargement can also increase in volume, and local irritation may cause patients to experience increased nighttime urination. Additionally, when patients suffer from insomnia accompanied by tension or anxiety, this may further contribute to urinary frequency.
