Night sweats are hot flushes that you have while you're asleep. They're often bad enough to wake you up. This can make you feel tired and irritable, and it can make it difficult to concentrate during the day.
Menopause night sweats are the result of fluctuating hormone levels that is commonly caused by the onset of menopause. It's not uncommon for menopausal women to have sleepless nights because of hot flashes that cause night sweating. Menopause cause night sweats as the body reacts to hot flashes during the night. Often keeping you from achieving a good night's sleep, night sweats can quickly raise stress levels keeping you from getting much needed rest. Much like the hot flashes that a woman may experience during the day, night sweats are a very unsettling and uncomfortable condition that keeps you from sleeping, sometimes keeping you up all night.
Change your sleeping environment
If you're suffering from this condition, the first step is to look at your sleeping arrangements. If you're experiencing night sweats you should seek the comfort of sleeping in a well-ventilated cool room, especially during hot and humid months of the summer.
Comfortable bed sheets
Soft cotton breathes and will help to make you feel cooler. Before you go to bed at night, try sipping a cool beverage to help hydrate your system and assist in cooling yourself down.
Cut out smoking
Studies have shown that smoking is linked to an earlier onset of menopause. Smoking also increases the chances of experiencing hot flashes and night sweats.
Cut out caffeine
Some people find that cutting caffeine out of their diet helps reduce their night sweats.
Exercise
Stress relieving activities such as exercise and meditation can be a good way to relax your body and it gives you something else to focus your attention on.
Diet
Hot and spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and some dairy products (particularly aged cheeses) have been known to aggravate night sweats.
Night sweats refer to any excess sweating occurring during the night. However, if you sleep in a room that is unusually hot or you are wearing too heavy of bedtime clothing, you may begin to sweat while you sleep which is normal. You need to distinguish between night sweats that arise from medical causes from those that occur because one's surroundings are too warm. Doctors generally refer to true night sweats as severe hot flashes which leave clothing and bed sheets wet. True night sweating due to hot flashes isn't because of an overheated environment.
The causes of night sweats sometimes accompanied hot flashes during menopause. Hot flashes are a very common cause of night sweats in perimenopausal women.
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common disorder which produces a lot of discomfort.
Night sweats can be symptoms of infections such as tuberculosis. Night sweats commonly result from bacterial infections that cause inflammation of the heart valves. This is called endocarditis. Night sweats can result from inflammation within the bones. This is called osteomyelitis.
Also, a condition called abscesses that is localized infections deep within the skin may result in night sweats.
