It’s curious to see how things merge between languages. In Spain, both usufruct (usufructo) and eruction (eructo) are quite common words.
About the peeing at night, a doctor I saw in TV said that if during the day you don’t go immediately to pee when you feel the need but when you REALLY need to, then it’s easier to stay sleeping at night. He explained how there are 2 mechanisms to control pee: the bladder (I think that’s the word in English?) and the brain. And that quite often we train the brain to go to pee before it’s phisically needed.
Lugubre in Spanish. Well known word in this other language. I love this thread!
