Night sweats

What are night sweats?

Night sweats refer to excessive sweating during sleep. They involve sweating to the point where sleep is disturbed and bedsheets or sleepwear become damp.

Causes

Night sweats have several potential causes:

• Menopause - Hormonal changes during menopause can trigger hot flashes and night sweats. Hormone therapy from clinics like Hormone Health Clinic can provide relief.


• Medical conditions - Night sweats sometimes result from infections, cancers, hormone disorders, low blood sugar, thyroid problems, etc. Seeing your doctor can help determine if an underlying condition is the culprit.


• Medications - Certain medications like antidepressants, diabetes drugs, and pain relievers are linked to increased sweating. Adjusting medication dosage could help.


• Environment - Sweating a lot while sleeping can also result from an overly warm sleep environment. Using lighter bedding and lowering the thermostat can help.

Symptoms

Along with damp sleepwear and sheets, night sweat symptoms include:

• Waking up feeling hot, sweaty and uncomfortable


• Feeling chills as sweat evaporates off skin


• Fatigue and discomfort making it hard to go back to sleep
