In case of accidents? At bedtime you'd likely be fairly close to a toilet.

On the other hand, an accident might be more likely because you don't wake up fast enough!

Agreed - I've only ever taken this stuff twice, both times after abdominal surgery - you get prescribed opioid painkillers, which cause constipation - the last thing you need with an incision in you belly!
