«Breaking News» Those who lose sleep to calls of nature 'harm their work performance and life satisfaction'

It can be so frustrating... you have drifted off to sleep nicely but then wake up needing to go to the toilet.

Those night-time calls of nature, however, can have a more negative effect by also harming your life satisfaction and work performance, warns a study.

People who lose sleep like this are around two per cent less happy with their lives and lose an average of seven days of work a year through being off sick or working less efficiently as a result of tiredness.

Nocturia has also been linked to depression and cardiovascular disease. It can be treated using drugs to increase bladder capacity or regulate fluids in the body. RAND Europe, based in Cambridge and Brussels, based the study on a questionnaire of 58,300 people [File photo]

Nocturia affects 9.1million people in Britain, meaning they wake at least twice in the night to urinate, said the study by the RAND Europe research institute.

The condition affects women and older people most, with more than half of 70-year-olds suffering. The effects are estimated to cost the UK more than £4.5billion a year.

Sufferers saw a 1.3 per cent reduction in work engagement when asked about their energy, pride and enthusiasm in their job. 

But there was a 2.3 per cent drop for women over 50, similar to the effect of having kidney disease or high blood pressure.

Lead author Marco Hafner said: ‘Frequent visits to the bathroom at night can affect the quality of people’s sleep which can be extremely bothersome for some.

‘It can have a negative impact on their general feelings of wellness and also means they feel less engaged at work and their ability to perform at work may be impaired.

‘Doctors often overlook nocturia as a potential health problem associated with sleep loss, and patients can delay reporting the condition until it becomes unbearable and substantially affects their wellbeing.

‘Given the economic implications, this should be a wake-up call.’

The condition has also been linked to depression and cardiovascular disease. It can be treated using drugs to increase bladder capacity or regulate fluids in the body.

RAND Europe, based in Cambridge and Brussels, based the study on a questionnaire of 58,300 people.

People who lose sleep like ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
