How can you make yourself a bedwetter?

Answer 1

Unlearning the life-long habit of sleeping dry isn't possible for everyone(based on my personal web searching). I have had fairly good luck after two years of trying by following these methods that worked for most who claim success doing this.

Desire is most important, you must want this with all your heart. You must willingly accept all the implications it brings, and there can be many that you may not have considered, such as the possibility of daytime accidents when you are distracted or fully immersed in other thought. This is admittedly rare but it has been reported. There will be extra expense in related items such as bedding and laundry. There can be a social cost as well since voluntary adult bedwetting isn't considered acceptable by most people. Unless you use some form of protection your mattress will need frequent replacement and there will be a persistent odor to consider.

Prompting the event is next, so drink plenty of water before bedtime. Get used to going to bed without emptying your bladder. Relax as much as possible before going to sleep. Some regress to an infantile state, some diaper, and some do nothing. The best level of success seems to be regression, with diapering next. If you drink alcohol, this can help you relax as well as add to your bladder's fullness. Do anything within reason that helps you sleep without worry, or that promotes deep sleep. It has been recently found that most bedwetting children sleep so deeply that they become unaware of their body's minor sensory inputs, such as the feeling of a full bladder or a moderate touch. Some are so unaware of theirself that they can be picked up without noticing. The depth of sleep is related to one's bladder control, so this depth of sleep is to be encouraged. The sucessful use or diuretics has been reported but this is medically unsafe and not recommended.

Persistance is necessary, this may take years to do, and for some it is unachievable. A small percentage are successful in under six months; most take one to two years. Longer than that and you aren't likely to achieve this goal. Even in the unsucessful cases there are usually a few bedwetting incidents over several years time. When you achieve any success, reward yourself as a form of positive reinforcement. Don't let your persistence turn into anxiety as this tension will inhibit your effort to relax. In time you will probably succeed.

Part of sleeping dry is a learned habit and part is physical. Like any habit, you can learn to do whatever you desire within your physical capacity. We all started life without nightime bladder awareness and control, so you can learn to go back to this state. Reinforcement can help, such as pre-wetting before going to sleep, wearing diapers, or using matress protection as reminders that this is what you want to do. If you choose the infantile approach, other childish items may also help.

Your brain causes your body to excrete a hormone shortly after going to sleep that signals the kidney function to slow down, and it also signals the bladder to hold it's function until waking. This hormonal production grows with time and takes effect at different ages, which is why children do not all stop bedwetting at the same age. Those who wet the bed later in life use this hormone less effectively and are more successful at becoming bedwetters again. This is beyond your control and seems to be the reason some are unsuccessful, as they always wake when their bladder signals fullness. Another physical aspect is in the nerve connection between the bladder and the brain. In most this is a clear and strong signal, while in others this signal may not relate to the bladder's state of fullness correctly. If you were a late bedwetter, or experienced general incontinence later than most children, you are more likely to be successful in ignoring this signal while asleep.

Other physical aspects are psychological in nature. If bedwetting is repulsive to you either conciously or unconciously, you will have a harder time becoming a bedwetter again. Some have overcome this through the use of self-hypnosis tapes, CD's, or audio files which can be found online. Once again, the level of success varies with the use of these aids. Other psycological aspects can be fear of becoming incontinent at other times, the fear of discovery by persons you don't wish to share this with, shameful feelings, and the real loss of social acceptance in personal relationships. There are others, but this last named reason is probably the one you should most consider before embarking on the path to bedwetting again.

There are very few people who can accept their partner's voluntary bedwetting on an everyday basis and it often leads to the loss of relationships that you would have otherwise benefitted from. Unless you are truly ready to deal with this I recommend that you do not follow this desire to it's end as some have found that they were unable to change back to nocturnal dryness after learning to wet in their sleep again. One method that works for some, and the one I use myself, is learning to wet in your sleep but only when wearing diapers. This isn't totally effective as there will be accidental undiapered wettings, unwanted leakage while sleeping diapered, as well as dry nights while diapered. This seems to be more socially acceptable than unprotected wetting but still carries a large risk of social loss of a partner's affection.

In conclusion learning to wet in your sleep again is achievable for most, but not all. There is a lot of 'baggage' that goes along with it which must be considered before attempting this goal. As small as it may seem this can lead to large changes in your life and some will be unwanted. My recommendation for those who truly wish to try this is to go slowly rahter than quickly so that you can reverse course should you find the costs outweighing the benefits. To those who deeply desire this and are willing to accept it's many implications, I wish to encourage you to go get what you really want from life, no matter what others may think of it. Your life is yours to live as you wish so long as you aren't harming anyone else in living it your own way.

The only truly accurate way to find out if someone wets the bed, is to conduct a series of observations. The individual should be placed in a clean bed or place to sleep. Upon awakening, the bed and individual should be checked for any signs of wetness. This test should be conducted for more than one night, as a person who wets the bed, may not do so every night.
