    Same, if I lay straight on my back for just a minute my bladder will start to nag me to go to toilet and it doesn’t matter that I’ve just peed a couple of times in the last half an hour…

      Every single time, yes! Every single damned time when I lay on my back, I have to get up and pee within 5 minutes tops… No small bladder, no UT issues, nothin’…

          Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with muscle tension, maybe?:-? Your mentioning of relaxation clicked, maybe when we lay on our backs, our bladders/various sphincters relax and release?:-?

          I, for one, can say for certain I am tensed up for pretty much the duration of my episodes of consciousness…

            Hm yes, I’m a very anxious person myself so that makes sense.

            My theory for why I have to pee so often (not only lying down) is also that it was a strategy for me to cope with a very controlling household growing up where my needs were frequently dismissed or ignored.
