Question
why would my Jack urinate while she sleeps?

Answer
Hi Donna,
Is she a puppy? Is she old? Do you take her out before she goes to sleep for the night? It's hard to answer without knowing more about your dog.  If she is a puppy, she will grow (train) out of it. If she is old, she may be losing control.  I take my water bowls up off the floor after 6:00pm and it cuts down on the accidents at night. You could put a doggie diaper on her if it's something that can't be controlled.  There also could be an underlying medical cause - you should bring her to the vet if it continues. Best of luck!
