Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Nocturia is a highly prevalent and bothersome medical condition characterised mainly by the need to wake up to pass urine during the main sleep period. Using data from wearable devices, it is possible to examine the sleep of large cohorts in natural settings. This study seeks to use data from connected smartwatches combined with a one-time survey to explore the presence of nocturia and associated level of bother and sleep characteristics in a non-patient cohort of wearable device users representing a broad age range.Entities:

Figure 1Mean and standard deviation (A) sleep duration detected by Withings watch of users in the retrospective dataset by age group (statistically significant effect of age: F = 7.0, P < .0001) and (B) sleep efficiency in the retrospective dataset by age group (statistically significant effect of age: F = 27.5, P < .0001)
Figure 2Number of respondents split by age and gender
Figure 3Proportion of respondents by age and gender who answered “2 times” or “3 or more times” to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?”
Figure 4Proportion of respondents (y‐axis) indicating “Quite a bit” or “Extremely” on Question 6 “How bothered are you by having to get up to void each night, and thus having a disrupted sleep?” by age and number of voids (x‐axis), ie, answers to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?”
Figure 5Proportion of respondents (y‐axis) indicating “Quite a bit” or “Extremely” on Question 9 “How much does bothersome nighttime urination affect your daytime activities (work, driving, other activities)” by age and number of voids (x‐axis), ie, answers to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?”
Figure 6Mean and standard deviation (A) awake duration at night derived from Withings watches in minutes by number of voids, ie, answers to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?” and (B) sleep efficiency derived from Withings watches by number of voids, ie, answers to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?”
Figure 7Mean and standard deviation first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP) derived from Withings watches and self‐reported (Q4) by number of voids, ie, answers to Question 3 “How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate?”
Prospective 10‐item questionnaire
| Sleep questions for prospective Withings survey | Reason to include | Scale |
|---|---|---|
|
1. How satisfied/dissatisfied are you with your current sleep pattern? | General assessment of sleep quality | 1‐5 (Very satisfied to Very dissatisfied) |
|
2. How many times do you wake up during a typical night’s sleep? (for whatever reason) | To be able to exclude awakenings as a result of other reasons, like pain or worries |
N 0 1 time 2 times 3 or more times |
|
3. How often do you usually get up during the night to urinate? | Nocturnal voids |
N 0 1 time 2 times 3 or more times |
|
4. What is the length of the first period of uninterrupted sleep you usually get at night (DO NOT include time that you spend getting to sleep at night)? |
FUSP req. for deep sleep >4 h recommended | Hours and minutes |
|
5. When you awake in the middle of the night, how long does it usually take you to get back to sleep? | Common problem for nocturic patients | Hours and minutes |
|
6. How bothered are you by having to get up to void each night, and thus having a disrupted sleep? | Only bothered patients seek care (about 1/3 of all). This question is used in clinical trials. | Not at all, slightly, moderately, quite a bit, extremely |
|
7. Do you have problems with waking up/getting up too early in the morning? | “No point in going back to sleep since I have to get up in 30 min anyhow” Typical nocturia problem |
Never, Sometimes, Often to frequently |
|
8. How many hours do you on average sleep each night? | Need this to compare with non‐nocturics | Hours and minutes |
|
9. How much does bothersome night‐time urination affect your daytime activities (work, driving, other activities) | Next day consequences, work productivity and risk for accidents | Not at all, slightly, moderately, quite a bit, extremely |
|
10. How refreshed did you feel this morning? | Quality of sleep | Not at all, moderately, quite a bit, a great deal |
