I am needing a pee at night more frequently 2 - 5 times since drinking green tea.
I drink 2–3 mugs a day.
Any advice would be most welcome.

Usually, it takes a few weeks/months to getting used to drink a lot of tea. For me that is. But once you stop for a while it goes away again.

Advice: Don't worry about it. Have a night light on in the bathroom w/ the door to it open (just enough light to find the toilet) & just pee & go back to sleep. Benefits of getting up are avoiding aches & pains from being in the same position too much while sleeping (even a good position for 5 straight hours would give me terrible pack pain) & one can take a minute to get one's bedding & pillows returned to most helpful places.

(When staying in hotels, I have seen & heard a lot going on, by not going right back to sleep when I got curious & put on a robe to see who was loud at 2, 3, 4, or 5 in the morning. It used to be interesting but then what I was learning about people depressed me. Better to just go back to sleep.)

I stop drinking tea after 5-6pm. It won't be an issue in the middle of the night.

I don't drink a lot of tea when I go out as well.

How much do you drink, and what cup size do you use?

Cup is around 90ml. But I drink 70ml steeps.

I drink tea two times.

In the morning 800ml
In the evening 800ml to 1200ml.

I do multiple steeps or few types of tea.

Thank you.
Just to clarify.
2 x 70ml in the morning = 140 ml.
Where does the 800ml come in?

Sorry. I haven't typed it properly.

I drink tea two times a day.

• In the morning 800ml. (70ml x 10)

• In the evening 800ml to 1200ml. (70ml x 15)

Some goes for warming up the gaiwan and cups.

Thank you my friend!

I had last night ( around 8pm ) also around 800 tea ( steeped in pot ) and of course had a similar issue. Woke up twice for wc. I think this is just a common thing if u drink tea in evening. I think that green has even more caffeine , so it's more aggressive on kidneys , therefore bladder later. I think if just not having a tea after dinner ( which is my issue ) you should be fine.

i have my last green tea around 4pm.
I have my last drink of anything before 6pm.

What is the temperature and humidity in your home?

23c 45%

23c with 65% here today in Amsterdam. Humidity is also a factor in this. But 45% is better than my situation.
