Night sweats

jackiebaron

Sometimes when I get into bed and start to nod off I notice beads of sweat forming on my forehead and body. Then I fall asleep and wake up a few hours later and the pillow and quilt are soaking and I'm as clammy as a frog. Sometimes I have to get another quilt only for that to be saturated a few hours later. I don't have a cold or flu and this doesn't happen every night but once or twice a week. Am I slowly melting?

Weird that you posted this. I get very bad night sweats every night. Have been since November. Its pretty bad, but doesnt happen until about 3+ hours into my sleep, and when it does (every night no matter what) its really bad, my back, legs, chest, groin area are drenched and my sheets get soaked too. I have to bring a towel to bed to dry myself every now and then when it wakes me. Really has messed up my sleeping pattern and the doctor hasnt got a clue whats wrong with me. Its definitely not my room temperature, medication, Not flu etc. Got an X-ray and sh*t loads of blood taken and tested over the last week or two, have to get more done next week aswell.

You could have thoiroid problems Op, consult your doctor.

Its the menopause.

He's right.

whiskeyman

Your water bed is leaking

jackiebaron

Well I do notice that after a drinking session it happens. But not always. Could it just be purging the toxins from my carcass?

biko

It could be a ADH reaction to the alcohol.
Or DTs.
Or MS.

See a GP.

stop **** so hard.

alternatively use a towel

BengaLover

Do you have one of those memory foam mattresses?
That could be the cause.

orourkeda

Have you tried methadone or anti booze?

I get sweaty sometimes at night. Now the missus forces me to wear a t-shirt in bed. It does the job. If I'm sweaty I just take the damp tshirt off and put on another. Saves the bed sheets from bring destroyed.

I know we're not supposed to give medical advice here but I think it's safe to say, with 100% accuracy, that you have TB.

It's your nerves at you. Check the wardrobe for Larry Murphy every night before you go to sleep.

A bit late for this thread but this is exactly my situation also, I'm a 28 yr old male, not overweight, and generally healthy as a horse, no hereditary issues either. I'm recently sleeping in a new bed with a health option memory foam mattress and it's got worse, I thought it might be the sheets I'm allergic to. Going to go to the doctor to get it checked out. Is it still happening or did you find the problem?

Thanks

This is going to sound a bit stupid, but maybe you are too warm?
I used to get night sweats but it was because I produce a lot of body heat and need it to be slightly cold to get a good night's sleep. Try a lighter blanket or sleeping with the window open.

drdeadlift

I usually get really warm when under the covers,most nights i will sleep without any covers if i get cold i wake up and then get under the blankets.

Thanks for the reply but I don't think so. I have had very good nights of sleep regardless of the room temperature or my bed clothes, this just seems to happen now and then, but more frequently in the last week to the point I was in the shower at 5am this morning, got into my clothes and slept on top of the duvet for another hour before I headed to work at 6.30!!

Now we know where your user name came from:D

The relative humidity (RH) was pretty high last night - and that determines whether sweat evaporates quickly or slowly. If it hits 100%, as it does sometimes, you're going to sweat. I remember one night in Toronto, when the temperature was about 25C and it was 100% RH. You couldn't see 100m due to the haze, the walls were dripping, and so was I. Ugh.

Healthy as a horse?!
Alliteration doesn't deem this acceptable dude. Or have I missed a memo from the silly similes society?

Nope they still didnt find the the main source of the problem but they reckon its my medication side effects, strange thing is, I have been on this medication for 5 years now and upped my dosage to 80mg back nearly 1 year ago now. Its a bit of a delayed reaction for the side effects to be kicking in now no? but the doctor said this can happen and as I'm not willing to go off my medication to see if it is the problem they are left clueless. Its only happening about 3 times a week now though and I've kind of learned to just live with it now, shower in the morning and its all grand .

this memory foam mattress thing might be a common denominator, i used have an ordinary spring mattress up to last year when i bought a whole new bed with memory foam mattress and new duvet, silk sheets, etc, slept like a baby, then i changed the duvet covers for cotton ones and my god, the sweat! them memory foam mattresses, while they're extremely comfortable, are like an insulator that traps in heat! :eek:

heidi_ho

Had this last year for three long months of getting up 4 times in the night to change sheets, quilts everything. No fun. Anyway no one could help doc said it was viral yoke- seems to be the answer to every unknown complaint at the mo.
Ended up so desperate I drank sage tea- yuk- an hour before bed and after two or three night it stopped.
