The bladder is a hollow muscular organ shaped like a balloon. It sits in your pelvis and is held in place by ligaments attached to other organs and the pelvic bones. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to go to the bathroom to empty it. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If the urinary system is healthy, the bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.

Oh! I think it is as big as 5cm

300 -500 mL

Even while you are asleep, you are always forming urine. If you are properly hydrated, it is not unusual to have to go every 3 hours or so.

Sounds to me as if you have an enlarged prostate. You should have your doctor check this out. This condition can be alleviate (otherwise as you get older it will get worse) and this can also be a symptom for a condition that needs attention.
