My OH has been suffering with nocturia for about 3 years (and this was the symptom that lead to the diagnosis of PCa). I have written on this forum before about the problem.
He has recently been prescribed a painkiller/sleeping pill for a shoulder pain/injury that obviously makes him more tired at night, and for the first time in 3 years he has now slept through the night for 3 nights without being woken up to urinate, for over 3 years.
Clearly the diagnosis and ongoing worry of PCa that keeps us all up at night, made it so he was aware of every twinge of the bladder, and some night he had to get up possibly 8 times, but sleeping more deeply has meant that he has not been woken up at all (and no accidents!).
I know this will be short lived, whilst he is on the painkillers, and I would not condone long term use, but thought it may be helpful to know.
Best wishes to all
