The colder it is outside, the more likely it is you'll have to pee in the middle of the night. Don't hold it in and suffer, just do it, your body is trying to expel the water because it takes a lot of energy to heat up. Yeah it sucks when it's four degrees out, but you'll feel a lot better when you do.

This bit is a little iffy, the wording makes it sound like it's the water in your bladder that is the heat loss, rather than constricting blood vessels in your skin due to cold causes more blood to be filtered into water in your bladder. Though exact cause and mechanisms is afaik still debated.
