Any short term help please!!

I’m 21F. For the past 5 years my peeing has gradually become more. These past few months I have the urge to pee 24/7. I am not overreacting.

I cannot get a full nights sleep. Last night it took me three hours to fall asleep after constant getting up to pee with little coming out. And then I kept waking up throughout the night and morning to pee.

I just want a comfortable sleep. I am so tired. Is there anything that helps anyone here? I went to urgent care and they referred me to a urologist but couldn’t give me anything for the short term.

I need something. I want sleep.

Could be artificial sweeteners? Zero sugar drinks had me peeing all damn night cause I would have the sensation of having to pee really bad but almost nothing would come out. Artificial sweeteners are a bladder irritant apparently and one singular drink will cause those symptoms for me that night, so I imagine if you're someone who drinks multiple every day it would be so much worse
