Ugh.
Does this sound familiar?
I'm half awake, and I really need to pee, but if I get up, I'll wake up, and I have 45 minutes left to sleep and I wont be able to get back to sleep if I get up, surely I can make it 45 minutes without wetting myself, I mean I just spent ...let's see, it was 11:45 when I ... six hours? really? Even if I fell back to sleep now I'd only get six and a half hours of sleep? What's that noise? Is someone else going into the bathroom? COME ON! Who is up at this time of day? Now even if I wanted to go, I'll have to wait, and I'm still not sleeping. And now, I really, really need to go, so I'm missing out on sleep and peeing. I should have just gotten up when I woke up and I'd only be awake, not awake and uncomfortable. Oh, now what? Is that knocking? Yes it is, now my other kid is up and waiting in line for the bathroom, and I am even further from relief.
"mmmph, what is going on?"
"Nothing, dear, go back to sleep." Look at that smug, sleeping face... I should flick her ear or something.
