Most children stop wetting the bed at the age of 3.

Nearly 15 percent of all children continue to wet the bed after the age of 3.

Boys wet the bed more than 2 to 1 over girls.

Enuresis runs in families.

Older children who wet the bed are often very deep sleepers who sleep so soundly that they don’t sense that their bladders are full.

Approximately 1% of the adult population may wet the bed.

Most children with enuresis have no special physical or emotional problems.

Children commonly wet the bed, some frequently and some irregularly, until the age of 6.

Children, who wet the bed at home, often stay dry when sleeping at a friend’s home or in a new place. This may be because the child is sleeping less deeply away than at home.
