Night Sweats

Welcome to Help For Night Sweats, a site dedicated to helping women understand and combat their Menopause Night Sweats and to helping men identify and prevent the lesser known but still common Night Sweats In Men.

Are you waking up with a wet brow? Tossing and turning in damp, dank bed sheets? Feeling either too hot or oddly cold and clammy when you sweat at night? Concerned about those nights sweats might mean? Worried that you’ll never sleep comfortably again? Before you panic, understand that night sweats are common. In fact, they are one of the most common health matters patients bring to the attention of their physician. There are a remarkable number of causes of night sweats as our hypothalamus — our brain’s internal thermostat — is quite susceptible to influence.

But before you develop your ideal night sweats treatment, you need to try to understand the origin of your own condition.

Different Night Sweats Treatments for Different People

Night Sweat

You could be a woman suffering from menopause night sweats or you could be a man suffering one of the many reasons for night sweats in men, but either way, you struggle for comfortable sleep and peace of mind. The clinical name is sleep hyperhidrosis or nocturnal hyperhidrosis, but you simply know it as night sweats. And while much of the health products industry emphasizes menopausal night sweats, male night sweats or andropause night sweats are not uncommon and can be just as frustrating.

I battled night sweats for years, and after several medical doctor and therapist visits, I finally received effective help for night sweats. Now I’m here to do my best to help you get through the night!

I discovered several things to help me, both in terms of diet and supplements as well as cool products to wear or to use while I fought my sweating while sleeping. But it took me some time and money to try a ton of stuff before I settled on a few that I knew really worked. With this site, I hope to share with you what really worked for me and hopefully save you some of the time and money I lost. But everyone is different; I will try to elucidate the most common and serious conditions which cause night sweats, including those well beyond my own experience. What causes night sweats for one person may be very different for another.

With this site I will address the many possible causes of night sweats, including more common concerns like the menopause night sweats experienced through early menopause symptoms, but also less common night sweats occurring as a result of more troubling conditions.

Menopause Night Sweats and Night Sweats In Men

This site is for both women for their hot flashes and men and the sometimes mysterious night sweats men experience. I will address conditions leading to night sweats experienced by both genders. And believe it or not, many doctors believe night sweats in men occur during a kind of andropause phase similar to the more publicized menopause experienced by women.

What Causes Night Sweats?

Among the causes of night sweats I will discuss:

• Diet and Personal Habits
• Alcohol and Drugs
• Menopause Night Sweats & Andropause Night Sweats
• Diabetes
• Sleep Apnea
• Infectious Diseases, including HIV and Tuberculosis
• Stress, Psychological and Neurological Conditions
• Uncommon but serious conditions, such as cancer

We’ll address all these concerns with a comprehensive approach that will address broad matters such as diet to clever little tricks such as running cool water over your wrists to cool your overall body temperature.
Whether you suffer from common menopause night sweats or night sweats in men, I hope to provide some helpful, inexpensive techniques for you to try right away.

The night sweats men experience can be quite a bit different than the hot flashes and nights sweats experienced by women, so I’m sure this site will develop divergent areas.

So check back soon as I’m assembling and revising the content for this site and I will slowly begin rolling it out over the coming weeks. Thank you for visiting Night Sweats in Men and Menopause Night Sweats.

The usual suspects are the culprit in this case: foods and beverages containing caffeine (including chocolate), alcohol, dense and fatty foods and spicy foods will all contribute to your suffering night sweats symptoms.

Additionally, I think people underestimate how close to bed they should avoid these foods and beverages. An hour isn’t enough time: I encourage you to avoid these foods at least 2 to 3 hours before bed and ideally you shouldn’t consume either caffeine or alcohol in the evening at all (at least while you’re trying to determine the cause of your sweating at night).

You will find some foods and beverages that help prevent your night sweats. But I’ll leave that for the next section below. [...]

While menopause night sweats have been covered extensively by the public at large, we also should address the not uncommon Night Sweats In Men.

Andropause Night Sweats

There are a number of reasons the night sweats men experience are difficult to pinpoint, some of them universal and some specific to male night sweats. With this article I will address those specific night sweats in males, so for other causes of night sweats in men which may trigger night sweats in anyone, please visit my website’s front page: Night Sweats.

The first cause of night sweats in men we’ll discuss is andropause. Yes, andropause. It does exist. Well, at least more and more people are beginning to think so. Just as women experience a reduction in their production of certain hormones during menopause, many feel that men experience a reduction in testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone during an andropause phase. [...]

Menopause night sweats are exactly what they sound like: excessive sweating in the night as a result of menopause hot flashes when you’re asleep and can’t do anything about those night sweats. While I know some women who celebrate the natural passing of their menstrual cycle, I also know we all must face the consequences of these changes in our bodies, and quite often, they’re just not any fun.

I urge you to stay calm and be at peace with the changes. As our ovaries begin the natural process of bidding adieu to our lives, our endocrine system and thus our hormonal balance will experience dramatic shifts. Menopause night sweats are natural and can even be seen as healthy because your body is cleansing itself of excessive toxins (every time you perspire you emit some toxins, hence the sometimes unpleasant odor).

However, when you decide to address causes of excessive sweating, I suggest seeing a medical professional for advice. While your night sweats are most likely nothing to be too concerned about, it is still a good idea to have your doctor evaluate you to be certain nothing more serious is occurring within your body. Sometimes simply changing your medication regiment can provide you significant relief. [...]
