So I'm a guy, I'm screwed. I literally wake up with my shirt drenched in sweat every other day. And it ain't the room temperature.

It's been 5 days since I quit nicotine... resulting in the worst insomnia and night sweats ever in my life... I can't get to sleep, meaning even after a full days physical labor and 70mg of meltatonin, I'm not getting tired until 2:30am (when I normally get tired at 11pm) and once going to bed, I wake up at 5am wide awake covered in sweat. Night after night after night...

I am a man, and what I am finding is that I have underlying issues and my body is working so hard to fight what is happening while I sleep that I wake up like I just got out of a swimming pool.

It is the worst feeling, You are so cold and shaking when you get out of bed to try and go dry, you try to line your bed with dry towels to no avail.

Many are sweating due to major problems in the body. It's a red flag. It sucks.

I have been sweating like crazy every single night for the last 3 months. Idk what to do😩 I’m not on any medication so idk why I’ve been having this problem

I bought a Tencel flat sheet as it’s temperature regulating, breathable and moisture wiking, also bought a merino wool blanket instead of a duvet/comforter, it’s temperature regulating as natural fibre, breathable and moisture wicking. It’s amazing. I used to get drenched using a cotton sheet and down duvets then the sheet would be so wet and cold. Also memory foam mattresses are terrible. I recommend getting a merino wool or other non memory foam mattress topper so your not right on the memory foam mattress it has really worked for me.

Wow ! Thank you so much. Recently I have been experiencing night sweats a day or three days before my period starts. Then when it starts they stop. I’ve noticed the months where I take my vitamins especially my iron tonic - they do not happen.

I really appreciate this video because people always link it to menopause or being premenopausal and I’m still young (29) and I knew it wasn’t that because of when it happens !! Thank you ! God bless you!

Night sweats can also be a symptom of Lymphoma.

How exactly does the fright or flight response raise body temperature?

[SariennMusic]

What if night sweats/freezing and hot flushes/freezing happen almost non stop? I'm MISERABLE. I don't have insurance so I bought some estriol cream from amazing. It's 5000mcg per pump. I use some throughout the day figuring that may be how my body naturally releases estriol.

Ive been sweating like crazy with covid. Is there anything i can do to minimize it?

[kimsmothers]

I'm a very large person. I just get really hot when I sleep. It sucks

[MelRasp]

Ohhh that's why I have not had my period in months and I am sweating

[nezukoshiki]

I only sweat when I have dreams. How can that be? Also nightmares make me sweat.

I can't believe the things I hear, not a word about nutrition nor excessive drinking, drugs (prescribed ones too)... I had to start studying nutrition, virtually impossible to find someone who makes sense: foods and drugs lobbies are amongst the most powerful, better not annoying them, innit?
Anyway, switched to a sensible diet and the issue gradually disappeared. The problem? Staying off junk foods can be harder than avoiding alcohol or heroin: that is a real battle field, not for this space. But, as long as I eat sensibly (high water content Real foods), night sweats simply disappear.

I sweat when I hear the AC kick on. Maybe a burst of warm air comes out first.

[kyleferreira]
