What is Nocturia?
According to the Bladder and Bowel Foundation website, Nocturia is the frequent need to urinate throughout the night. The most common cause of sleep disturbance, this condition affects 80% of people who report to have insomnia. Consuming large amounts of liquid before bedtime and taking certain medications can, of course, cause frequent urination, but Nocturia can also be signs of more serious health conditions such as Diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Although common among seniors, affecting 60% of elderly men and women, Nocturia symptoms also emerge in 30% of younger adults over age 30, according to one study. A-1 Home Care in Calabasas provides incontinence care for seniors who have symptoms associated with Nocturia.
Buffering the Effects of Nocturia
As many family caregivers well know, when their elderly loved ones need to use the restroom throughout the night, this disrupts the sleep pattern of the adult son or daughter who needs to work the next day. A-1 Home Care in Calabasas can buffer the effects of Nocturia on the whole family, preventing short-term and long-term consequences such as impairment of attention spans, memory recall, learning, obesity, weakened immune systems, and Diabetes.

After all, if you start to compromise your own health, how can you continue to care for your elderly loved ones and children?
