Do you wake regularly to find your bed stained and dripping in sweat from the previous nights sleep? Are you finding that when you sleep you can feel very hot, sticky and sweaty? If you find this is the case on a regular basis then it seems you may be suffering from excessive sweating at night! Night sweats are suffered by a great number of people, and there are quite a few remedies for it. Quite commonly, when you find you are sweating excessively at night, you may also find that this is being carried into the day also, and you find yourself over sweating regularly! Regardless of how much you feel you sweat, or how intense you believe your night sweating is, here are some tips to help you treat it somewhat.
If you are not the sought to enjoy sleeping commando style (naked), and you choose to wear clothing, be sure to choose and select your fabrics carefully. Quite a few more common fabrics are "NOT BREATHABLE" meaning that the air flow in which our body needs to cool down, can't flow through easily. This ultimately results in the air becoming trapped, along with the heat your body releases, causing more sweat! So, to be sure this is counteracted, select sheets and fabrics that are breathable. If possible, try sleeping without blankets or clothes, if the weather and temperature allows it. This could seem a little extreme, but the extra heat your body produces being covered by blankets and clothes could be the difference between triggering those sweat glands, and not. Obviously, some places in the world are not blessed with all year around heat, so make sure you do your due dilligence, and use your common sense before trying this method out.
Have you heard of sweat wicking PJs? If not, it may be worth looking to see if it is possible to find these. This type of sleepwear is designed to soak up and absorb any sweat that leaves the body at night. So, rather than this sweat dripping and running down your skin, it is absorbed by the sweat wicking pajamas. Although, they don't put a stop to your excessive night sweats directly, they can offer you a more comfortable sleep. However, be aware that if you want to try these types of pajamas, they require a little bit of a different wash, than normal clothes do.
Showers can also be an option before you go to bed, if you find that your sweat is rather smelly in the morning on your sheets. Dry your body and hair properly before lying down. Using this method, you may find this works in reducing your sweat at night and the lasting smell in the morning.
Also, just to be aware, in very rare cases, it can also be that your night sweating problem is an actual underlying medical issue or condition. Night sweats are associated with tuberculosis, HIV infection, menopause, thyroid and pituitary gland issues, some cancers, hypoglycemia, and nightmares. Obviously if this was a worry, your doctor would be the best to consult in this instance. Ultimately, if it is a worry and you have tried natural remedies, it may be an idea to see a doctor for advice. But, most will point to the fact, oversweating is indeed generally harmless.
You can treat excessive night sweating by yourself at home. Many have done this prior to you reading this article/website, so if this is something you could be interested in doing, there are ways you can do this, starting today.
