Question
Recently, some people have reported that they frequently dream during deep sleep and upon waking up, they find that there is urine on the bedsheet, causing concern. They inquire about the causes of nocturnal enuresis and whether it is related to mental illness.
Answer
Nocturnal enuresis is more common in children due to the underdeveloped control of the brain cortex over the urinary center. However, if adults experience nocturnal enuresis, it should be considered a pathological condition. It is recommended to avoid overexertion in daily life, ensure adequate rest, and avoid excessive work and life stress while maintaining a good mood. It is not advisable to drink too much water or carbonated drinks before bedtime, and it is important to develop a habit of regular urination.
