I know I need my Zzzzzz's. I know I'd feel so much better, but with all the H2O, Tea's etc. and taking a dose of fiber with H2O at bedtime. I'm up 3-4 times per night urinateing.
How do you folks deal with this and still get your Zzzzz's?

I have a new philosophy - I'll sleep when I'm dead. There are nights up up several hours at a time with an attack. I doze after supper usually - 20 min or so, my anti-spasmatic makes me sleepy.

I drink most of my fluids by early afternoon. Then I don't drink anything for about an hour to an hour and a half before I go to bed. Fluids move through me pretty well so within an hour I generally am ready to pee out any excess. I always pee at least twice before I go to bed. That helps. Most nights I can make it through the night without having to get up to go to the bathroom.

Do you take an evening dose of a fiber supplement? If so when?

I usually take my fiber supplement in the evening with dinner which can be anywhere from 5 to 9 at night. My schedule is pretty crazy so it's hard to keep it consistent. I don't take very much. I use the Acacia fiber and only need about .5 - 1 teaspoon each day. I've never tried any other fiber supplements and this one works well for me, so I have no reason to search out others.
