Reasons why you should stop holding your pee for so long

 Think of your bladder as a balloon that fills up with urine.

At a point when it's "full", your brain gets the signal to empty it, if you override that signal, your bladder continues to fill up, it's not full yet, it will continue to fill up at about 60ml per hour for adults

If you keep overriding that impulse to pee, your muscles around the neck of the bladder now contracts or tightens to stop urine from leaking out.

If you keep holding it in, you might cause problems for yourself later.

One: Urinary tract infections
Remember that the urethra... 

Is close to the VJ, which is close to the anus, it is possible that germs can find their way into the urethra and then the bladder.

If you pee often, you might not give these organisms time to take over. But if you have a habit of holding it in, then you might have an infection 

Another thing that can happen is you bladder muscles may become thin and weak over time.

This might lead to urine leaking out on its own that you can no longer control. You cough, urine will leak out, you laugh, urine leaks out.

So is that feeling worth it? 

This is why you should try to pee before bed and try to reduce your water intake close to your bed time.

Some people will not empty their bladders until they wake up and it takes about 8 to 9 hours for the bladder to completely fill up.
