It’s normal for people over 70 to need to go to the bathroom twice a night. For people 90 or older, this can be as much as four times a night.
Meanwhile, medical experts say it’s perfectly normal for people under 60 to get up once a night to go to the bathroom.
What are possible health problems?
If you have to wake up more than once to urinate, this could indicate a urinary tract infection. It can also indicate more serious conditions such as kidney stones, diabetes, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and even heart disease.

Common symptoms of diabetes include: excessive thirst, blurred vision, unintentional weight loss, and needing to go to the bathroom at night.
According to the UK’s National Health Service, this is because high blood sugar not only irritates the bladder but also increases thirst. This makes you more likely to drink more and therefore need to go to the bathroom.
