Most normal healthy people void (urinate, pee) about every 4 to 8 hours. Nighttime urination is normal, if about once or twice per night.

Older males with prostate enlargement may urinate very small amounts, very frequently (every hour or two or more often).

Older females may have urinary urgency which can be worse at night.

Diabetics may urinate frequently, day or night.

All males and females can get urinary tract infections; it's more common in females. A UTI would also normally cause burning during urination, urgency, higher frequency, and lower amounts voided than normal. UTI may also cause fever and nausea, but not always. Some females who've had chronic UTIs may have no symptoms at all except urgency and little urination with more frequency.

In normal males and females, many day and evening factors cause increased need to urinate at night. Some of these include: use of caffeine (tea, coffee, sodas), nicotine (smoking), certain street drugs, drinking alcohol, or increased drinking of any fluids before bedtime.

If you have increased urgency (gotta go now!), increased frequency (every 1-2 hours or shorter), or other urinary symptoms, consult your doctor.

Can a sinus infection cause a yeast infection?

I think the chronic cough makes your diaphragm press on your bladder causing you to feel like you might need to urinate. Which in turn makes you squeeze whatever muscle that helps you hold your urine in because you don't want to urinate in your pants and that can cause a UTI. I just came home from the ER and I had a sinus infection for almost 3 weeks and I just found out I have a severe UTI that lead to a Kidney Infection. But keep in mind I have a weakened immune system because I have diabetes so my body can't fight off infection that good.
