Bed Wetting

Have you ever wondered why we don't pee ourselves in our sleep??
No? Oh maybe that's just me.
Well the thought just randomly came to me the other day and yea.....

I looked up some info via wikidpedia
you know...cuz you can always trust wikipedia....but yea for the most part I think you can.
Anywho, I thought it was just interesting.


Poor little guy....

"Most girls can stay dry by age six and most boys stay dry by age seven. By ten years old, 95% of children are dry at night. Studies place adult bedwetting rates at between 0.5% to 2.3%" (Wikipedia)


"Treatment ranges from behavioral-based options such as bedwetting alarms, to medication such as hormone replacement, and even surgery such as urethral enlargement. Since most bedwetting is simply a developmental delay, most treatment plans aim to protect or improve self-esteem. Bedwetting children and adults can suffer emotional stress or psychological injury if they feel shamed by the condition. Treatment guidelines recommend that the physician counsel the parents, warning about psychological damage caused by pressure, shaming, or punishment for a condition children cannot control." (Wikipedia)

Well that's interesting. I didn't think that there was a psychological link to bed wetting.
I had just thought that you have to learn to control your bladder while you sleep.
Apparently there's a link between your self esteem and your bladder control.

Hmm

Well here's the link if you wanted to check it out via wikipedia

And just for kicks and giggles here's what urban dictionary has to say :P

Soggy Bottoms:
a grown man who wets his pants. Not a clown. Often accompanied by the soggy bottoms walk, a severe bow-legged stance which deliberately attempts to keep wet pantlegs from chafing the insides of mr. soggy bottoms legs. Also seen in bed wetters and young children.
That dude thinks he's so cool in those fancy knickers, but he's got a serious case of the soggy bottoms. "Hey, look at soggy bottoms over there!"

w.m.b.a.t.t.
pronounced wombat, stands for "wetting my bed all the time"
I went through a period of w.m.b.a.t.t. untill i was 13!
