Step 1 Understand possible causes

For every possible cause, there's a person who isn't affected by it but still wets the bed. Just remember that the possibilities listed here may operate independently or in conjunction with each other.

Small bladders. Some doctors believe bedwetters have small bladders that simply overrun during the night. The bladder is surrounded by a layer of muscle that can squeeze either automatically or on instruction from the brain. If the brain isn't listening or doesn't send the right messages, the bladder will overflow or empty itself automatically.

Deep sleepers. Sometimes deep sleepers don't "get" the message from the bladder that it's full. In this case, the bladder takes matters into its own hands and the muscles around it squeeze, or it simply overflows.
