Lifting and waking in nocturnal enuresis

• offer advice on waking and lifting during the night as follows:
  • neither waking nor lifting children and young people with bedwetting, at regular times or randomly, will promote long-term dryness
    
    
  • waking of children and young people by parents or carers, either at regular times or randomly, should be used only as a practical measure in the short-term management of bedwetting
    
    
  • young people with bedwetting that has not responded to treatment may find self-instigated waking (for example, using a mobile phone alarm or alarm clock) a useful management strategy
