Why does your pee smell funny first thing in the morning?

I think you win the award for the least descriptive thread title. Ever.

Just so you know, you’ll get much better responses if you use thread titles that better describe what you’re asking about. And welcome to the Board.

Perhaps because you haven’t been eating or drinking during the night, and the uric acid content in your “pee” is greater.

Welcome to the SDMB, Jada.

Descriptive titles are appreciated. They are more likely to get you an answer and less likely to waste bandwidth. Accordingly I have edited the title of this thread. In the future please try to choose more descriptive titles.

FWIW, I think Bosda pretty well has it. Additionally, your blood sugar level drops overnight, so your urine contains less sugars, and thus doesn’t have the sweetish odor that daytime urine usually does. Incidentally, I believe one of the earliest diagnostic techniques for identifying diabetes was to note the excessively sweet odor of the urine.

Perhaps you should have your nose checked.

the real question is how do you know your pee smells funny…
I haven’t smelt many others

If you drink a lot of water, like I do, then you’re used to a great deal coming back out in the coursse of your daily life. If you go and sleep for several hours on end and not go to the bathroom, there’s a significantly greater amount of waste flushed from the body when your go in the morning. For me, at least, the simple volume is enough to make me notice the smell.

What exactly do you mean by weird, Jada?

Asperagus will also make your pee smell funny.

After a night of above average drinking I notice that my urine has a distint smell to it. It smells somewhat sweet but not sugary, more like an alcohol or aldehyde. I know that the liver converts the ethanol into another molecule and I was just wondering if this is what I am smelling.

You can smell my pee from way over there?

While you’re at it, please define ‘funny’.

Nately’s Whore, like your username, that was just too, too TMI.
