Why do you keep waking up at 3 AM to use the bathroom?
New research suggests the answer may not be your bladder alone. It could start with your eyes.
In this video, we explore a fascinating study from Japan that found daytime light exposure influences how the bladder behaves at night. Your body clock helps tell your bladder when to switch into storage mode while you sleep, and your eyes play a key role in setting that clock.
You'll discover:
• How the bladder changes function between day and night
• What researchers found when volunteers spent their days in dim indoor lighting
• Why modern indoor lifestyles may affect nighttime bladder function
• The surprising connection between circadian rhythms, sleep, and urinary health
• What this could mean as we get older
