What makes him not just wake up and go to the bathroom? My brother doesn't just pee in his bed, he has peed in my moms bed and the couch in the living room. He just wakes up in the middle of the night and goes to sleep wherever.And hes peeing everywhere. Could he be peeing in the bed cause he has asthma?
Sometimes people have to wake him up to go to the restroom and sometimes he drinks water before he goes to sleep. sometimes he doesnt and he still pees in the bed.
The problem could be anything from his asthma medication not allowing him to get the message he needs to wake up an use the bathroom to puberty problems or an immature urinary system. I believe all of these can be rectified by a visit to a urologist and save your brother the embarrassment of this problem. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

From alarms in my underwear (haha) to placebo medication. In time, I'm sure his muscles will develop so that he will be able to control it, but for now, he muscles may just be under-developed.

Consult a doctor and possibly look into some night time protection such as goodnites or underjams to save on laundry and on ruined mattresses. [ mcat's advice column | Ask mcat A Question ]

Is your brother on any medication? Sometimes this can be the cause of bed wetting, However you stated that your brother drinks water before going to sleep..Bad idea. Best thing to do is to drink at least an hour before you head to bed and if you do drink something after that hour always make sure you try and use the bathroom first before you go to bed. This is likely what is causing your brother to have this problem, Try laying off any sort of liquid before bed. If this doesn't solve the problem and your brother is taking medication consulting a doctor would be your best bet. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
