Groggy and blind, you grunt and scratch your way back to your wrinkled sheet cave after an epic journey through the frozen bathroom wilderness.
AWESOME!

Things are getting chilly where I live, so I can definitely relate to this!
But as awesome as RETURNING is, having to get up in the first place is awful!
“I am the master of my own bladder…

…Drat.”
LOL @ master of my own bladder! Some nights/mornings I can master it, but is it really worth it to awaken again later having to pee so bad that you barely make it out of bed to the bathroom, then it hurts to go?! That is so often me!
Whoa, wait, was that TMI? Probably. Eh, it’s Friday.
Haha, I think anytime I get to return to bed is AWESOME for me, not just when we have to fumble in the dark to the bathroom!
In the middle of a school essay now & I would give anything to be able to return to my warm bed!
Btw Neil, I’ve been a long-time reader but first-time commenter! Thanks for creating such a wonderful site – so simple, but so brilliantly uplifting! :D
Definitely agree: returning to bed anytime is AWESOME!
Sleeping the whole night through and not having to get up to pee at all is more awesome!
Amen sister!
I try not to hold it because then that’s all I can think about and I can’t go back to sleep.
I get up several times throughout the night. Zach still wakes up and wants his sippy or wants covered up or needs his diaper changed and then Lilly is up with nightmares or her nose is stuffy or I can hear her grinding her teeth and I gotta go in there to make her stop. Then theres the times that I just get up to check on everyone. Returning to bed is nice no matter if its warm or not, but its frustrating when I gotta push hubby back to his side of the bed after I’ve been up.
For me it is worth getting up just to get that yummy feeling when you get back into the warm bed and there is a few more hours to sleep, yum!
Once it hits you, you’re done. Either get up and handle it (pun intended) or no sleep for the rest of the night.
Totally agree–especially if there’s a few hours before the alarm goes off.
But, even BETTER: when camping, getting back into your sleeping bag after the ordeal (for a girl, anyway) of going to pee!
I can almost NEVER fall back asleep so the not having to go in the middle of the night is quite alright with me!
I’ll often hum, “I’m alright… no I don’t gotta’ pee! Bladder give me a break…let me go back to sleep!” Then I feel the pressure in my kidney’s and imagine renal calculi forming; know the hell of *that story*, song and dance my way into the washroom and pray it’s at least 4:30/5 am. so I can fake my way through the day!
I am not the master of my uts, like ltbg…….(bragger;)
This doesn’t happen to me that often. Sometimes I wake up to find my bed covers on the floor, and then I have get up to make my bed again. Once I even woke up to find myself facing the opposite end of the bed, with my feet on the pillows. That was confusing. Anyway, to those who trek across the frozen midnight wilderness of their homes, I salute your bravery.
The joy of finding out that there is an hour or more left until the alarm goes off is absolutely awesome .. thank you for sharing such simple pleasures of life
i hate when that happens
gotta pee especially when i have school (im 5th grade) and cant get back to sleep at 3 in the morning…
