To sleep is our body’s method of recharging and rejuvenating itself so it can prepare for the vigours of the following day. It’s not only this though as getting plenty of sleep is imperative to maintaining an active as well as healthy life. If we go without sleep, a proper sleep, we will start to become lethargic, tired as well as irritable and if this situation carry’s on for a period of time, it can begin to effect how a person can function and act through the day.
 
There are many things that will contribute to a poor nights sleep and one of those is sweating during sleep. Everyone sweats and this is totally natural but some people will sweat too much during the night and this can be for a variety of reasons. Women who are going through the menopause will find that they are typically sweating during sleep and this can be very annoying and uncomfortable. Unfortunately there is little that you can do apart from wear loose night clothing, keep the bedroom well ventilated and even have a fan on at night. Taking a cool bath before bed can also help to lower the temperature of the body and provide some relief from sweating during sleep.

Being ill can also increase a persons sweating, especially if the person has a cold or flu which can produce a fever – the best thing to do in these cases is to drink plenty of fluids and allow the temperature to return to normal after the illness. If you suffer from sweating during the night and can find no reason why you should be doing so it is best to consult your doctor to be on the safe side. Otherwise try keeping your bedroom cool with good air circulation as this will help you to stay cooler and will hopefully reduce your sweating during the night.
