Nocturnal Enuresis
(Bedwetting)

Bedwetting is a problem thousands of people face, many who are seeking answers and reaching out for help. This serious problem afflicts approximately 15-20% of school age children between the ages of 4 to 16 and is more evident amongst boys then girls by a ratio of 3 to 1. It is also estimated that 2-5% of the adult population still has this problem.

Cause

The primary cause of bedwetting is an abnormal, incorrect deep sleep. This kind of sleep is hereditary and the cause of bedwetting. Research shows a relationship between enuresis and many sleeping disorders, creating an opportunity for great advances in helping enuretics receive a proper correction.

The enuretics abnormal deep sleep prohibits them from responding to their bladder pressure when necessary. Some enuretics wet as much as every night or three to four times a week. However, some wet as little as once a week or once a month.

The incorrect sleep may cause micro-sleeps or tiredness, which can translate into lack of concentration and ADD/ADHD symptoms. ADD/ADHD symptoms can occur because the child is not obtaining the quality REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep needed to concentrate and function well. This deep sleep and the lack of sufficient REM sleep is a gateway for being hyper because the enuretic has to rev themselves up to keep themselves functioning. This occurs so the enuretic can participate in games, school and other activities, but causes them to be hyper active.

Not knowing there is help

The effect of bedwetting has always been prolific, affecting more boys than girls by a 3 to 1 ratio. Many children today are wearing pull-ups or other diapering to deal with the bedwetting problem. This can create self-image and self-esteem issues because the child feels this is not normal or socially acceptable.
