I never woke up in the middle of the night for these things...
then I got cats, they do wake me up in the middle of the night sometimes... cuddles and snuggles first though, that can last around five to ten minutes... and then I might get up for business, or not... usually not, lol

lol. Wait till you are older! There really is no holding it much longer! I gotta go means I gotta go now! When I was younger I could hold it for very long times. I once held it so long my bladder went into painful spasms when I release it. Now if I try going back to sleep I will probably pee the bed!
Lots of bathrooms have heaters in the ceiling. Safe and will keep you warm while you do your business.
I go immediately, and live in Northwest Colorado - not necessarily a warm climate (especially winter - consistely in the negatives this time of year)... but I know if I don't go right away, I won't be able to go back to sleep and I like my sleep. lol
I voted 5 min increments until I can not wait. The weird thing is my bladder spasms if I really have to pee.

I totally feel ya, girl. About the cold and everything. What's really annoying is when the cold actually WAKES YOU UP. As in awake awake. Like, Noooo! I just wanted to Zombie-walk to the bathroom and come right back and pass out again. I didn't want to WAKE UP! Lmao
A- move yo ass, i am not about to piss my sheets. Related story: had to take a piss but the women's was closed at my job. The men's however... comin' through, boys. Move it!
Depends on how tired I am. And how bad the pain is lol. So like last night I woke up at 3 and needed to pee but fell asleep and don’t wake again until 5:45am then I went to the washroom
I think, "Well, I will I will eventually HAVE to get up, so, it might as well be now. (I drink 36 ounces of water a day, or at least that is my goal)
Definitely answer A for me.
It's normally at least twice a night, and not getting up to do it is certainly an unwise choice in my case.
it's been pretty cold here but i still go immediately. i worry though that i'll have internal urination one of these days
I try not to drink too much close to bedtime... but when Nature calls, I answer... immediately.
I'm from Ireland, winter can get a bit cold here!
If I'm very cozy I try to hold it until I either fall back asleep, or I leak a bit, in which case I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom 🤣
I must admit that a couple of times when wearing both boxers and very thick joggers I just peed in bed enough to relieve the bladder a little bit and then I just threw the clothes to the side before the wetness reached the bed 😂🙈I wait until it’s urgent enough that i can’t get back to sleep. I am from a region in which it’s anywhere from chilly to below freezing for roughly half of the year. Also, i don’t typically sleep soundly. So i’d prefer to stay in bed and hopefully fall back to sleep, rather than wake myself up enough to pee and wash my hands. By then, trying to get back to sleep is all but completely futile.

I don’t get up at all even if I need to go really bad. I just hold it until it’s morning and I’m ready to get up
I'm usually to tired to get up to use the bathroom during the night
The sooner I pee, the sooner I can fall back asleep. You stay awake too long trying not to piss, you’ll just wake up fully. I don’t even turn the lights on, I got yellow night lights (which don’t suppress melatonin) that are very dim, just bright enough to allow you to not walk into doors and walls.
I go immediately because I know it will only get worse.
When I have to go, I just go and get it over with. I keep my house at 67 degrees so it's not super cold.
Maybe like a half hour. Sucks getting older. I remember when I only peed like twice a day. Once when I got up and once when I got home from work.
I have lived in both colder and warmer climates and it was always immediately. Maybe the cold doesn't scare me I don't know.
Chose A, it's really annoying but can't sleep if i force it back...
It's really awful especially in winter, when you're warm and comfy in bed, to wake up and go to the bathroom in the cold but when you return to bed you will feel happy and comfy again 😌
I go right away. I'm not risking getting a uti
I go immediately it the best way to get back to sleep
I go back to sleep and wake up in the next 30 minutes to 3 hours
