If you produce more than one-third of your daily output of urine at night, you may suffer from nocturnal polyuria (excessive excretion of urine at night). If you produce more urine at night than during the day, you suffer from nocturnal detrusor overactivity (overactive bladder muscles at night).
More bothersome than dangerous, nocturia can be successfully treated and is often curable.
