Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Normal: Overnight urine is more concentrated than during the day because you don't have anything to drink whilst asleep + your pituitary gland secretes anti-diuretic hormone which causes kidney to reabsorb more filtered urine at night. Both result in lower urine production & increased concentration.
