How many people have these symptoms?

I'm curious about the symptoms people have associated with sleeping. In particular, I have the two following symptoms:

(1) As soon as I start to drift off to sleep, my frequency temporarily increases, making me get up and go several times before I can fall asleep.
(2) Yet once I actually do fall asleep, my frequency decreases dramatically (I go 1-2 times per night, but about 30 during the day).

The combination of these symptoms seems paradoxical, so I'm curious if anybody experiences one or both of them.

getting up constantly before falling asleep is what prompted me to seek help. I would get up 3-5 times before falling asleep and 3 times in the middle of the night.. I started Elmiron (off now since my left hand is numb until i see a doc on monday) now my frequency is 1-2 times before falling asleep and not getting up at all at night.

I also wanted to say that it gets worse when I lay on my side.
