bed-wetting
Overnight bladder mishaps
Bed-wetting is urinating involuntarily during sleep.
The term usually applies to children who haven't yet developed reliable nighttime bladder control, though it can affect adults with certain medical conditions.
Also called enuresis in clinical contexts.
The pediatrician said bed-wetting is common and usually resolves on its own.
