Ta da, again! Or maybe I should say, ta d'uh!
What would happen if you went to bed later - between 10-11 instead? Would you be that much more tired & sleep through the nasty 2 AM waking? How about drinking lots & lots early in the day so you don't need to drink so much in the evening & don't need the midnight pee along with a slightly later bed time? When it returns to normal, you can switch your bed time back to 9:30.
If you still want to go to bed at 9:30 badly, how about taking a Sonata when you get up for your pee? How about a rubber mallet on your bedside table & get Marty to apply it to you around 2 AM every night?
Does music or any noise bother Marty? Does soft music of your liking relax you & help with sleep? Maybe putting on a bit of music when you come back to bed at midnight to see if it'll stop the bad dreams? A small glass of warm milk after the pee?
It's a list of diff things I would try (outside of the mallet) to see what worked for me.
