Question:

How do I stop night sweats?

I am always sweaty when I wake up in the mornings or in the middle of the night to pee.

I am heavy but I'm fairly healthy and don't have a problem with sweating at any other time of the day, even though I am active.

I don't work out or eat right before going to bed. My last food for the day is several hours before I go to sleep and has always already been 'processed'.

I have two fans in my room as well, a ceiling one and a floor one blowing directly at me. I'm actually usually cold when I start to fall asleep. I've tried changing their positions or strengths, even turning them off and I still wake up sweaty, often even more so.

Whether I wear pajamas, shorts and a shirt, underwear and a shirt, or nothing at all, it doesn't matter. Neither does whether I use just a sheet or a thin blanket or a quilt.

Taking a shower right before bed or within a few hours of bed doesn't make a difference either. Seemingly, neither does the shower temperature.

I still wake up sweaty and often my clothes will look as if I'd just run a marathon and I will have to change them.

I'm not pregnant and I don't sleep with someone who could be making me hot as well.

Are there supplements I can take, certain foods I can eat or maybe not eat that will help my body to not do this?

I don't really like getting up throughout the night to pee but what about certain drinks to keep me cool? I drink a lot of iced drinks and my body temperature is always fairly warm but at night, when I'm asleep, it seems to rise and I sweat.

And it's not just one general area either. Everything's sweaty.

  1. See a doctor.


  2. DONT SLEEP!?!

  3. SLEEP NAKED, ITS s**y AND BETTER!

  4. It might be thyroid problems...It can make you sweat or make you cold.....

    I would talk to the doctor about it and see what he says.  Your hormones might be off too...how old are you?

    I would start there and make sure it is not a chemical imbalance in your system or hormonal or thyroid or something else.  Then you can go from there!

    My hubby sweats a lot...no reason... it is just natural for him. It could be just normal for you!  but start at the doctor!  

  5. Don't wear a blanket, or wear a light one.  Maybe try a fan on you too.
