I find my night time bathroom visits have 2 major triggers.

1) good blood pressure control minimizes night-time bathroom needs (for urine that is)

2) more carbs, poor blood sugar control = more night time visits also. Larger breakfast and lunch and smaller dinners make for less night time urine runs.

Of course drinking large fluid intakes after 6pm is also a factor.
Taking B-complex or other vitamins at night will get you up too.

I really can't stay up much past 8-9pm anymore. Very stimulating days I might be up til 10pm but that is rare now.
In summer with longer days, I stay up later. In winter I go to bed early. Being OLD is soooo much fun! (not)
