Abstract

Amitava Chowdhury, a general physician, often asks his patients, “Do you sleep well?” When answered in the affirmative, he follows with, “How many times do you wake up at night to urinate?” More often than not the answer is three to four times. This implies his patients suffer from disturbed sleep. Only a handful of people report it to doctors. For the rest it is part of their lives.
