Children Grown Up: Adolescent Nocturnal Enuresis
Urinating while asleep, also called nocturnal enuresis, is common in children. It is messy and worrying, but as it is unintentional, it can only be an indication of a growing body system growing adapted to sleeping without diapers. Nocturnal enuresis in teenagers and adolescents, though, may be worrisome for parents; it can be embarrassing for older children, and is considered a physical manifestation of deeper troubles in a teenager or adolescent.
The Connection between Deep Sleep and Enuresis
The medical community has long considered children aged five or six who are persistent bed-wetters also suffer from a sleep disorder. Recent studies seem to show that this is not always the case and that typically these children sleep deeply and fail to rouse when the brain sends the message that the bladder needs to be emptied.

Many children at this point begin to feel self-conscious about their shape and size and their outlook on life can change for the worse. New social pressures are also introduced into a child’s life with the onset of puberty.
