Reading this makes a lot of sense. I'm a 31 yo male and have to get up to use the restroom about five times a night. I'm also sleep deprived from the work I do. I've seen three urologists about this- each has given me different pills to take, which may help a little- it's hard to tell. But for me, I can tell the biggest factor regulating how much I have to wake up in a given night depends on the quality of the sleep the night before. I'm hopeful that if I can repay my "sleep debt" my need to get up at night will be reduced or eliminated.
