Q: Waking Up to Go to the Bathroom

The past few months, i've had to wake up around 5-7 am to go the bathroom almost every morning. I don't usually get up until 9 every morning. When this first started, I was tested for diabetes. I don't really know that this could be anything else. I'm just wondering if this is a health issue I should be concerned about or if I should just not bother with it.
Thanks!!

Sleep Apnea

I too wake up at least once a night to urinate. Although I haven't been tested, I read online that night urination can be a symptom of sleep apnea. Does anyone sleep with you? If so, ask them if you snore a bit, then suddenly stop, then gasp for air. I tend to do this nightly, and I haven't been diagnosed, but i'm guessing it could be why I wake up to urinate. Good luck.
