Yes, thank you, I can well do without encouraging myself in getting up in the middle of the night.
That would be the last straw…coloured, pee.

This is usually a male problem, but I have had this since I was forty.
My back was damaged when I was still unconscious after an operation and, despite complaining about the pain, nobody listened to me.
The nerve to my bladder was damaged and I can need to go to the loo as many as four times, but usually two, in the night and need to get there pretty quickly.
It is a nuisance, especially when I cannot get back to sleep afterwards.
My sympathy to all male sufferers.

Sleep is so important as the body does much of it repair and maintenance during sleep. Have you noticed any possible triggers Jane?
It is just lying down.
I need to go, but my bladder is not full.
That sounds very annoying. Something must be signalling the urge, especially without a full bladder.
Yes, it is the damaged nerve.
My wife has to go once every night. It’s just a weak bladder, apparently. So if a woman can have it, so can men. It’s not always the prostate.
True, pelvic floor muscles go through a lot, especially with childbirth it seems.
My DIL has had electric stimulation treatment following the birth of both children as part of her post natal re-education and is the norm as part of the birth plan.
Everyone in France has perineal reeducation post partum because otherwise incontinence looms on the horizon and we don’t see it as normal. None of that vague “doing the Kegels are we” you get in the UK.

ROFL whilst doing leg raises. 
I don’t know many people my age who do trampolining and when I asked why (I love it and it is such fun and a good workout) I was told peeing yourself was a possible problem, so make of that what you will.
