Not normal: Bedwetting that starts in adulthood is never normal and requires an evaluation. You could have a hormonal disorder, a neurologic disorder, or several other possible issues. Please get checked out to look for possible causes.

Multiple reasons: Cause of this is typically due to the following: problem waking up to the sensation of a full or contracting bladder increase in urine production at night a bladder that acts small. Such problems can be caused by detrusor instability or another functional bladder disorder, small bladder capacity, sleep disorders, or possible psychological factors (unclear if causal or due to systemic disease).
