A 2004 study also found medical residents with less than four hours of sleep a night made more than twice as many errors as residents who slept for more than seven hours a night, an especially alarming trend given that less than 11% of surveyed residents were sleeping more than seven hours a night.
Best Answer: A normal adult bladder can hold anywhere from 16 to 24 ounces (about 500 to 750 mL) before the urge to urinate becomes overwhelming. Everyone's bladder is different though, so some can hold more than that amount, some less.
The urinary bladder is a muscular sac in the pelvis, just above and behind the pubic bone. When empty, the bladder is about the size and shape of a pear. Urine is made in the kidneys, and travels down two tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and voluntary.The bladder is lined by layers of muscle tissue that stretch to accommodate urine.The normal capacity of the bladder is 400 to 600 mL.uring urination, the bladder muscles contract, and two sphincters (valves) open to allow urine to flow out. Urine exits the bladder into the urethra, which carries urine out of the body. Because it passes through the penis, the urethra is longer in men (8 inches) than in women (1.5 inches).
