I am up at night at least 6 times to use the bathroom i do not sleep because iam in te bathroom about 6 times a night

I : I believe that anyone who goes to the bathroom 6 times at night probably has a urinary tract infection or an enlarged prostate (if male). See your pysician, they will evaluate you more fully and should have you back to your normal sleeping pattern in a short time. Best wishes.

Yikes: Male or female? In the bathroom to urinate or to defecate? Either way, get medically assessed to determine cause.
