I'm sorry but I had to delete and correct the previous answer that said this is definitely not true. Perhaps that answerer never read the label on a bottle of sleeping pills or knew a woman who suffers from frequent urination after taking them.

The truth is that sleeping pills CAN cause frequent urination. Be sure to read the labels because MANY over the counter sleeping pills cause frequent urination and if you're a male with an enlarged prostate, this can cause very serious discomfort. For example, a bottle of Unisom (and many other sleep aids) specifically states: Do not use if you have trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate. This warning would not be printed on the bottle if the manufacturer did not know that the pills would cause frequent urination.

Sleeping pills also increase the likelihood of women urinating more frequently because women tend to have smaller bladders than men and because of this biological fact, women need to urinate more frequently. If the user stops drinking fluids within 3 or 4 hours of bedtime (male or female) they may be able to tolerate sleeping pills however, even this is NO guarantee of relief from frequent urination when taking OTC sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills can cause absolute frustration for people who find themselves very drowsy and close to falling asleep but having to get up and go to the bathroom throughout the night. I've suffered through this many times over the years and prefer to use Ambien CR if I've had a couple of weeks of insomnia that didn't remedy itself.

So the answer to this question is yes, sleeping pills can cause frequent urination.
