3 on weekdays, 5 on the weekends, 8 when I’m lonely. Do I collapse on the way to the bathroom? Only on full moons. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tanookie \* > \*\*Once or twice a night would be so wonderful! Because of how my kidneys work they can’t filter at maximum efficiency when I am up and about so once I lie down to sleep they can finally do their job correctly. There are some nights where I am up every hour. An average night is every 2- 2 1/2 hours. \*\* Aye-yai-yai! How the heck do you manage to get any rest at all? If it were me, I’d be trudging through each day bleary-eyed and irritable. :eek: ---

Pretty much. Ashtar. Now add to that a 2 year old and a 6 week old. I live by willpower and caffiene. ---

I haven’t counted but I say anywhere b/w 6-8 times a day. I also have 3 kidneys. Would that effect anything ? lol. ---

People who are only peeing 2-3 times a day need to start drinking more water. You DO NOT want to get kidney stones. I made this mistake and learned the hard way at the tender age of 22. Being flayed alive would be less painful. ---

I drink at least 2 liters of water a day at work - so lots of trips there. Plus, some liquid in the morning with breakfast (either milk or Crystal Light, usually), a cup of tea when it get in in the morning, 2 diet sodas a day (one with caffeine, one without), and a cup of tea at night. The bathroom is well known to me. I’ll count actual times tomorrow. Sisam ---

Nothing to eat after 6:00 PM Nothing to drink after 8:00 PM Make a trip to pissoir last minute before bedding down. Wake about 4:00 AM, Apply mind over matter till alarm at 5:45 AM Trip to pissoir then and as neccessary as water intake dictates, e.e. whenever nature calls 4 to 6 x/day.
