I do sit to pee when I have to go in the middle of the night. It beats turning on the light and being blinded.

My friend's grandparents did the same thing. One night, the grandfather got up in the middle of the night and without turning on the lights in pitch black, went to the toilet. He got in position and sat down... and then, apparently the next thing one could hear was two screams... he had sat down on his wife who had gotten there a few minutes before!

My grandparents didn't have a bathroom until I was about 12 (1973) The men used to go off the back porch.

Grandma always kept a chamberpot in the bedroom at night, right up until she passed away in 1991.
