Basic Information about
Deep Sleep Bedwetting

and our successful correction program

Approximately 15-20% of school age children between the ages of four and sixteen are dealing with bedwetting. And approximately 5% of these children will grow up into adulthood still dealing with the problem. Every week we place teens and adults on our program who have been told that they will outgrow this. Knowing that some do grow into adulthood with this problem, ECC is making an effort to educate and help those parents who have children with this problem, so that the problem can be corrected as early as possible. We also offer help to adults and are very successful in correcting the problem even though they have had the problem many years.

The reason for the success of our program is that we treat this problem for what it really is: a SLEEP DISORDER. The enuretic sleeps so soundly or deeply that they simply cannot wake up in response to signals from their bladder.

Of course, the extra laundry and the expense of “pull-ups” is a real burden, but the wet bed is just part of the problem. When a child or adult suffers from bedwetting there can be a low self-image or self-esteem. Going to camp or staying over with friends can be a real problem because they do not want other people to find out they wet the bed. The bedwetter is very reluctant to do many of the things kids normally like to do.

Sleeping incorrectly can also cause the child or adult to not receive the full benefits from Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. This may cause a shortened attention span, restlessness and excessive daydreaming, and it may interfere with schoolwork and other daytime activities.

Correcting this problem by treating the deep sleep provides many benefits. The dry bed definitely is reward enough, but there are often many more very positive results. When the bedwetting is controlled, self-esteem improves and many daytime symptoms may get better or disappear altogether.

This program includes education, motivational and therapeutic techniques and regular instructions, along with personal counseling via the telephone. We set up the program initially from a series of questions gathered on an information form that the parent completes. It is very important that each case be set up and treated on an individual basis.

No two bedwetters wet alike. That is the reason we set up and treat each case on a personal basis.

Once the program is set up and begun, the parent fills out a report for each night, and when the sheet is completed for two weeks, it is sent into the ECC for analysis. A new set of instructions are then sent to the home to be followed for the next two weeks. This process of sending in reports and receiving new instructions to deal with the problems and difficulties that may arise continues until the enuretic is declared dry. We use a moisture-sensing alarm system to alert the parent, or whoever is working with the enuretic. So, during the night when a wetting occurs, the alarm sounds, and the parent enters the room and follows the instructions and procedures, and at that time records the information on the report sheet. We know that the enuretic will most likely sleep right through the alarm, so we need someone to work with ECC as we go through the program.

The length of time needed to achieve a correction averages about four months. Do not trust those who claim one to two months for a correction. Many of their cases start wetting again soon. Some go longer, but we will stay with you until a correction is achieved. We will declare an enuretic “dry” only after at least thirty consecutive nights with a dry bed. A dry bed means that the enuretic was able to get up in the night and use the restroom on their own, or was able to retain until morning. Remember, each case is treated on an individual basis, so some corrections may take longer, depending on the situation.
