Causes and Treatments of Bedwetting in Adults

3. Sleep Apnea

According to one study, seven percent of adult patients who have sleep apnea also wet the bed at night. Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and then starts again. Some people with sleep apnea will stop breathing hundreds of times in their sleep without knowing it. In rare cases, sleep apnea will develop into a bedwetting habit as the condition progresses or becomes worse. These patients usually find relief by using continuous airway pressure therapy, which is prescribed by a health professional.
