This is just a guess. If you get up after midnight, I'd start the urine countdown.

Wouldn't it be better to pee in a jug every time I get up and then pour it in the sample bottle before I hand it in ,as long as there will be no bacteria with been in my bedroom.

Call your doctor and ask him these questions and then you will know exactly what he wants.

in the uk now you can't call your dr,you have to fill a stupid clinic form in,then it's a 6wk wait for an appointment. it's OK I will find the best way to do it.
