ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Enuresis

Enuresis is when you accidentally pee yourself while you're asleep. It's also called bedwetting. You know how when you're awake, you can tell when you need to go potty, and then you go to the bathroom? Well, when you're asleep, your brain might not always send the signal to your body that it's time to go potty. When that happens, your body just goes potty in your sleep without you even realizing it. It's very common among kids, but it can be embarrassing and frustrating. But don't worry, it's not your fault, and there are things you can do to help stop it.
