Thanks for posting about disturbed sleep. I go to the bathroom a lot at night too but thankfully it is not a problem because I quickly fall back to sleep. In your case where you believe you know the cause of the poor sleep, I wonder if Desensitization (see Chapter 12) would quickly help you to relax (desensitize you to being in a bathroom or to functions you do there) and then go back to sleep. It isn't exactly fear you feel in the bathroom but it may be more distress or upsetness or resentment which can be desensitized just the same as fear.

Just an idea. What do you think? Some ideas discussed with _Sky might work for you too, like having a good book to read...
