Safflower Oil, verifiability
There have been two additions of Safflower oil to the disputed-causes section. Both times the addition has come from an anonymous user and both additions have lacked a citation.

After searching again for any supporting evidence for Safflower oil causing bedwetting, I still find nothing to support this addition. As a result, I've again removed the item. (See Verifiability )

If anyone wishes to restore this, I would request that he/she do so from a logged in account and add a real reference. (Just putting citation needed isn't enough.)

Please read Verifiability before trying to restore this item. Wshallwshall (talk) 19:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Sarah Silverman
Her biography, The Bedwetter, while not primarily about her bedwetting, is probably one of the few memoirs to be this self revealing. I think at least a See Also link would be appropriate. I dont think it deserves a section.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:04, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Sociopathy
"Bedwetting does not indicate a greater possibility of being a sociopath, as long as caregivers do not cause trauma by shaming or punishing a bedwetting child." To quote the article. So as written, does this indicate mistreatment by a caregiver to a bed wetter for bedwetting will cause them to become a sociopath? That's what it seems. That info should be sourced.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 09:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Psychiatry frequently makes these "misstakes" as part of their regular disinformation. Should be noted that it is also just one person from 1963 that probably didnt even raise kids..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E9:710:4E00:A45F:67B7:7392:3755 (talk) 10:25, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Epidemiology
This section includes the sentence "Boys and girls are three times more likely to wet the bed than girls and boys." This is nonsense, surely? 46.208.76.218 (talk) 19:52, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Can someone with, like, Wikipedia-approved research skills please find a reliable source for this?
Dreaming that you're peeing in a real bathroom or toilet is a cause or partial for some patients. These patients should always check and double-check when they use the toilet to confirm that they are awake and not dreaming.

 * I searched Google Scholar and found some relevant-looking articles. Unfortunately, I can't confirm what they actually say on the matter without paying hundreds of dollars to read them. Bloody hell.
 * Childhood Enuresis: Relationship to Sleep, Etiology, Evaluation, and Treatment Annals of Behavioral Medicine (1988)
 * Enuresis and Dreaming: Experimental Studies Arch Gen Psychiatry (1961)
 * The EEG, Eye Movements And Dreaming in Adult Enuresis The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1965)
 * Enuresis—A method for its study and treatment. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry (1938)
 * Some of these say nothing of dreams in the abstract, but in the Google results there was relevant text displayed.

A question
"Bedwetting is the most common childhood complaint."

Do people agree this sentence needs expanding or explaining? To me, a layperson, it is not at all clear. Who is complaining? Are we comparing all childhood medical issues; all childhood issues, period; what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:5690:A000:2527:5EA6:305A:D594 (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
