Nighttime Bathroom Phobia | comment |
When nature calls at night, either one of two things happen: the person wakes up to go use the toilet, or they relieve themselves in their sleep. For those who are lucky enough to make it, they are sometimes faced with a dilemma: they want to go to the bathroom, but they cannot because of one fear: they have to walk down a dark hallway to get to where they need to be! This may stem from a fear of the dark, especially if a kid has seen a horror movie. This character might be a Lovable Coward and/or a Nervous Wreck. If the character in question has a Potty Emergency, it'll be an especially big problem and they may even have to face their fears so that they can relieve themselves. If the character opts to hold it until morning, it can result in a Potty Failure (Embarrassing Damp Sheets if they have an "accident" in their bed). A kid might also be too nervous to get out of bed because they think there's a monster under their bed. They might also be afraid of a Mirror Scare even if they manage to reach the bathroom. This is a common fear for children or childish characters. Kiddie Kids may also suffer from this phobia. Sometimes this is played for Toilet Humor and/or to show how pathetic this character is, and other times, it's more of a sympathetic trait. Sometimes the character might have an accident out of sheer nervousness about the dark. This is Truth in Television for several people, particularly young children. Parents can attest to their kids asking them to walk them to the bathroom late at night. Because of this, the page is No Real Life Examples, Please!. Compare Shy Bladder, when a person has trouble using the bathroom in the presence of others. |

The central idea of Nekomew's Potty Trouble is about the titular four-year-old kitten who is afraid to go to the bathroom at night. Every level begins with him having a nightmare about his past experiences before waking up in bed. With the aid of his luminous cat-shaped doll, Nekomew must make it to the bathroom across the hallway late at night to relieve himself while avoiding various nightmare monsters that stall him along the way. | |

The prologue of Darkness Falls is A Minor Kidroduction of Kyle (The Hero), who is afraid of going to the bathroom at night (and darkness in general). When his mother tries to reassure him that everything is safe, that's when Matilda Dixon (a psychotic ghost) attacks and kills Kyle's mother. For further irony, Kyle saves himself by running into the bathroom because Dixon is Weakened by the Light. | |

Digimon Adventure: In episode 8, Agumon has Tai walk with him to the bathroom shortly after they're supposed to go to bed, and Tai is rather annoyed by this. The English dub changes the dialogue between them, however, and Agumon joins Tai just in case something dangerous happens, but Tai accuses him of being the one who's afraid to use the bathroom in the dark after he enters a stall. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: "The Last Straw" reveals that Greg has always been afraid of a certain picture of Shel Silverstein on the back of The Giving Tree since he was three. Back then, he had a bad habit of getting out of bed at night for no reason, so his father Frank told him that if he got up again, he'd run into Shel Silverstein in the hallway. To this day, Greg is too scared to get out of bed at night, even to go to the bathroom. | |
