Has anyone here managed to reduce the frequency of waking to pee at night (e.g. by controlling liquid intake)? For me it’s 2 times/ night with difficulty going back to sleep so fairly huge disturbance.

Couple of (fairly obvious) things that have helped me:
- don't drink liquid before going to bed
- use the restroom before going to bed
Often (at least for me) the feeling of needing to pee is greater than the actual need to pee. Realizing this, it's easier to hold it in until morning.

If you regularly have to wake up to pee at night you might have some other issues (like diabetes). You should visit a doctor.

Eliminate diuretics at least after lunch, like caffeine and alcohol. I would also recommend drinking more water throughout the day (vs other drinks). Reducing sugary consumption at least after lunch can also help.
Physical activity can also help. My theory is that it can help sitting at a computer all day can sometimes cause me to retain fluid and that it's the retained fluid that is being processed when lying flat. If you notice your calves/feet/etc being slightly swollen this could be a sign.

Yeah, 1-2 hours of cycling (guess any cardio works) in the evening, then don't eat anything besides a glass of water/juice/milk/liquid.
I also pee a lot at night, otherwise.

As much as I'd rather do it, I stop drinking anything about an hour before bed. Kind of sucks because I'd like to go to be hydrated.
