Having to pee makes you stupid The effect of acute increase in urge to void on cognitive function in healthy adults
Article first published online: 5 NOV 2010 DOI: 10.1002/nau.20963 AbstractAimsIn healthy adults, voluntary inhibition of micturition is associated with an increasing sensation in the urge to void and pain, and acute pain has been associated with transient deterioration in aspects of cognitive function. MethodsEight healthy young adults consumed 250 ml of water every 15 min until they could no longer inhibit voiding. Performance on standardized measures of cognitive function was measured at hourly intervals which were classified as baseline, when individuals reported an increase in the urge to void, a strong increase in the urge to void, an extreme increase in the urge to void and postmicturition. ResultsSensations of the urge to void and pain increased with time of inhibition of urge to void and with amount of water consumed. Having an extreme urge to void exerted a large negative effect on attentional and working memory functions (d > 0.8). These cognitive functions returned to normal levels after micturition. ConclusionThe magnitude of decline in cognitive function associated with an extreme urge to void was as large and equivalent or greater than the cognitive deterioration observed for conditions known to be associated with increased accident risk.

So basically what this means is that I should get my boss to drink ALOT of beer, come back to the office right away, disable the toilet, and when he's burstin' at the seams THEN ask for a raise??? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

I suspect almost the entire M&M contingent operates on a full bladder. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I would guess any pain/severe discomfort inhibit cognitive function. Like migraine, proctalgia fugax, wind pain etc, things people commonly suffer as well :hmm2: Of course you can't think properly!  you're supposed to be dealing with something more urgent like relieving your distended bladder  | |
