I don&#8217;t know if real <em>night sweat cures</em> exist for all circumstances, but I encourage you to consider at least one or two of the remedies I describe here.</p><p>I will expand on some of these at a later date, but for now you can select one of these below index links to jump down to the appropriate section.  I hope this helps!</p><p><a href="#a1"><strong>Common Sense Night Sweats Treatment</strong></a><br /> <a href="#a2"><strong>Natural Treatment for Night Sweats</strong></a><br /> <a href="#a3"><strong>Night Sweats Remedies</strong></a><br /> <a href="#a4"><strong>Night Sweats in Men Treatment</strong></a><br /> <a href="#a5"><strong>Menopause Night Sweats Treatment</strong></a><br /> <a href="#a6"><strong>Treat Night Sweats With the Chillow, The BedFan and Wicking Pajamas</strong></a></p><h4><a name="a1"><strong>Common Sense Night Sweats Treatment</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><p>First I&#8217;d like to address some basics to make sure you begin your <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/" title="night sweats">night sweats</a> relief with a common sense foundation. These night sweat cures may not seem exciting or evoke great epiphanies, but I believe they&#8217;re necessary steps in the treatment of night sweats.</p><h5><em>Set the Proper Temperature for Sleeping</em></h5><p>As I describe in my <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/sweating-while-sleeping/" title="sweating while sleeping">sweating while sleeping</a> article, humans prefer a cooler temperature when they sleep than when they&#8217;re awake. While the exact right temperature for restful sleep is still up for debate, some studies indicate that the temperature may be around 66 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.  It is important that you recognize the difference between the temperature indicated by your thermostat and the ambient temperature in and around your bedroom, bed and body.</p><p>If you discover that ambient temperature is well above the 66 to 68 degree area, you need to somehow get that temperature under control before you can realistically focus on other night sweats causes.  Crack a window, place standing fan or install a ceiling fan&#8230; but do something.</p><h5><em>Be Careful What You Eat and Drink Before Bed</em></h5><p class="post-info">Return to Top</p><p>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.</p><div id="attachment_381" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><img src="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/images/night-sweats-treatment.jpg" alt="Night Sweats Treatment" title="Night Sweats Treatment" width="180" height="160" class="size-full wp-image-381" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Night Sweats Treatment</p></div><p>Additionally, I think people underestimate how close to bed they should avoid these foods and beverages.  An hour isn&#8217;t enough time: I encourage you to avoid these foods at least 2 to 3 hours before bed and ideally you shouldn&#8217;t consume either caffeine or alcohol in the evening at all (at least while you&#8217;re trying to determine the cause of your sweating at night).</p><p>You will find some foods and beverages that help prevent your night sweat. But I&#8217;ll leave that for the next section below.</p><h4><a name="a2"><strong>Natural Treatment for Night Sweats</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><p>Chamomile tea may soothe and calm you while peppermint tea can both cool you and your heat-generating digestive tract.  If you&#8217;re concerned with drinking a hot beverage near bed time, you can brew a strong tea earlier in the day then refrigerate it to make an iced tea.</p><p>If you don&#8217;t mind the scent of peppermint, a quality peppermint essential oil can help in a variety of ways.  Some people put a dab on the back of their neck.  Some put it on the soles of their feet.  You can even put a couple drops in some water and ice for sipping as you prepare for bed.  Unfortunately peppermint also has an awakening effect, so be careful with how much you use.  If you think this sounds silly, just wait until you try it for yourself.</p><p>A really popular natural treatment for hot flashes and night sweats is black cohosh.  And that will make for a nice segue into my night sweats remedies section.</p><h4><a name="a3"><strong>Night Sweats Remedies</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><h5><em>Black Cohosh</em></h5><p>Straddling the natural treatments and the night sweats remedies sections is black cohosh.  Black cohosh, or scientifically, Actaea racemosa, is an herbal remedy created from the roots and rhizomes of this herbaceous perennial plant. This would be considered an alternative therapy as the science supporting its use is inconsistent and controversial.</p><p>It is primarily used for women, menopause and even premenstrual tension.  Its origin as a therapy derive from its use by Native Americans for alleged anti-inflammatory, sedative and pain-relieving properties.</p><p>I will write a whole page on the black cohosh phenomenon because it has become so popular, but I want to be clear that I am not personally recommending it. I know a couple people that swear by it, but it didn&#8217;t personally work for me and I am a little skeptical about its legitimacy as a therapy.</p><h5><em>Simple, Natural Night Sweat Relief</em></h5><p>Once simple night sweat cure &#8212; or cure for excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) of any sort is to place a cool glass, cool, damp wash cloth or run some cool water over your wrists.  This is a really neat and genuinely useful trick that will quickly provide your body an overall cooled sensation.  I kept a small bowl near my bed with a clean wash cloth and a bunch of ice cubes.  When I felt hot, I reached for the wash cloth and held it against my wrist or wrists.</p><p>Because your veins gather at the junction of your wrists, you cool your blood as it passes this point and then the blood cools the rest of your body.  It is a simple, safe and effective way to cool yourself anytime.</p><p>Another simple, natural way to find some relief in the night is to use lighter, more breathable fabric for your pajamas and your bed sheets.  Further down, I discuss some other products and devices along this line that can provide natural relief without resorting to drugs.</p><h4><a name="a4"><strong>Night Sweats in Men Treatment</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><p>One problem men have with night sweats is that so many night sweats therapies are targeted at women and their menopausal hot flashes. But as I discuss in my <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/" title="night sweats in men">night sweats in men</a> article, men are almost as likely to experience hormone-based changes that lead to night sweats as women.  And men are just as likely to experience some of the serious illnesses that can lead to sleep hyperhidrosis, such as HIV symptoms, symptoms of lymphoma, hyperthyroidism, the night sweats cancer may cause and more.</p><p>For men, I encourage you to not shy away from remedies often directed at women but just as practical for men.  Don&#8217;t feel too manly about sipping chamomile iced tea before you go to bed and don&#8217;t be stubborn about trying some moisture wicking pajamas.</p><h4><a name="a5"><strong>Menopause Night Sweats Treatment</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><p>On the alternative therapy side you have supplements and herbs, such as black cohosh and Estroven, and on the medical site you have HRT (hormone replacement therapy).  I suggest you try the many natural and safe therapies I&#8217;ve included on this page before you attempt to treat your <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/menopause-night-sweats/" title="menopause night sweats">menopause night sweats</a> with drugs.</p><p>The problem with drugs is that they often evoke side-effects which may ultimately exacerbate your night sweats or hot flashes.  For example, the night sweats Zoloft can cause are not unlike the night sweats alcohol provokes.  I don&#8217;t mean to sound too anti-drug &#8212; my doctor friends wouldn&#8217;t approve &#8212; but I do suggest taking a safe, natural and simple approach to treating your night sweats before you bring out the big guns.</p><h4><a name="a6"><strong>Treat Night Sweats With the Chillow, The BedFan and Wicking Pajamas</strong></a></h4><p class="post-info"><a href="#top">Return to Top</a></p><p>I will write pages on each of these devices in the near future, but I wanted to at least introduce you to these three clever products that may be worth your money if you&#8217;re serious about your night sweats treatment.  Unlike some sketchy herbal remedies out there, these are practical common sense solutions to over heating in the night. If you can manage, I encourage you to use the three together for maximum relief:</p><h5><em>The Chillow</em></h5><p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re familiar with the way your pillow warms up from the heat of your face. I&#8217;ve always loved flipping the pillow to the cool side.  Well, the pillow basically allows the surface side to stay cool all the time. It absorbs the heat from your face and shoulders and helps them stay cool.</p><h5><em>Bed Fans</em></h5><p>Most bed fans operate by connecting to the foot of your mattress, the blowing a light breeze beneath your sheets along your body. This breeze lifts away the heat eminating from your body.</p><h5><em>Wicking Pajamas</em></h5><p>Wicking pajamas, particularly the excellent Cool Jams brand of wicking pajamas, use a carefully designed material and texture to literally wick away moisture from your body while you sleep. This helps you by both keeping you cooler and keeping you drier.  While most moisture wicking pajamas you&#8217;ll find will be for women, Cool Jams also makes men&#8217;s pajamas, t-shirts and boxers.  Don&#8217;t be shy about trying them, boys: they&#8217;re very effective!</p><p>I really hope something in this article help you to find a more healthy and restful night&#8217;s sleep with effective night sweats treatment.  Some of these topics have endless depths to explore so I&#8217;ll expand on them with additional pages on Night Sweats.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-treatment/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Night Sweats In Men</title><link>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/</link> <comments>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:54:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Joan</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Night Sweats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Night Sweats In Men]]></category> <category><![CDATA[andropause]]></category> <category><![CDATA[causes of night sweats in men]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dehydroepiandrosterone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hyperhidrosis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[male night sweats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[men night sweats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[night sweats in males]]></category> <category><![CDATA[testosterone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[what causes night sweats]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/?page_id=15</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/">Night Sweats In Men</a> is a post from: <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com">Night Sweats</a></p> While <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/menopause-night-sweats/" title="menopause night sweats"><strong>menopause night sweats</strong></a> have been covered extensively by the public at large, we also should address the not uncommon <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/" title="Night Sweats In Men"><strong>Night Sweats In Men</strong></a>.<h4><strong>Andropause Night Sweats</strong></h4>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.

Some simply consider it a &#8220;state&#8221; or phase, while others consider it a potential &#8220;disorder.&#8221;  If you experience many of these symptoms in your middle or early manhood and you&#8217;re cleared of any other medical conditions which may cause them, you may be diagnosed with an andropause disorder.  However if you experience this as an older man, it may simply be diagnosed as a state or phase.</p><p>Yet because men can continue to reproduce well into their old age, some researchers feel this is a &#8220;false&#8221; diagnosis or label for this &#8220;disorder.&#8221;  Put simply, there really isn&#8217;t a cut and dry answer for what andropause means just yet.</p><p>Common symptoms of andropause (whether defined as a state or disorder) are as follows:</p><ul><li>Hot flashes</li><li>Excessive perspiration</li><li>Loss of libido</li><li>Impotence</li><li>Anxiety</li><li>Depression</li><li>Impaired memory</li><li>Lack of concentration</li><li>Fatigue</li><li>Insomnia</li></ul><p>Of course, you may not experience all these symptoms (let&#8217;s hope not, right?), but let&#8217;s focus on the hot flashes and excessive perspiration symptoms since they relate directly to night sweats in men.  It is important to understand that these result from hormonal changes in your body and those hormonal changes affect your hypothalamus &#8212; your body&#8217;s thermostat.  And while more drastic and permanent hormonal changes occur during andropause, it isn&#8217;t uncommon for men to experience an ebb and flow of hormones throughout their life.</p><p>An embarrassing for some but real example involves a common occurrence for most healthy men.  It isn&#8217;t uncommon for a man to experience random erections while asleep.  This is a result of hormonal rushes in the body.  These same hormonal rushes can cause night sweats in men.  Often it isn&#8217;t unhealthy or unnatural, but if the sweats become more severe and more consistent each night, then you should discuss this with a medical professional.</p><h4><strong>What Causes Night Sweats In Men?</strong></h4><p>While this article is mostly about night sweats in men, I must also note that some dangerous conditions can be indicated by night sweats, including:</p><ul><li>HIV</li><li>Tuberculosis</li><li>Thyroiditis</li><li>Diabetes</li><li>Infections of various sorts</li><li>Malignancy: cancers can cause sudden rising and falling body temperatures, which leads to sweating.</li></ul><p>If you experience a sudden change in your pattern of night sweats or <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/sweating-while-sleeping/" title="sweating while sleeping">sweating while sleeping</a> which involves more severe or more frequent sweating, consider consulting a physician.

So stick to specific, individual supplements and always discuss your regiment with your doctor and/or your pharmacist before combining too many different herbs and vitamins.</p><p>In some cases, a little chamomile tea can help.  However, some people may feel anxious consuming a hot tea before they try to fend off night sweats in their sleep.  Other natural ways to address your hot flashes at night include wicking pajamas, wicking sheets, a pillow that helps keep your head and face cool (see the nearby Amazon.com links), and a bed fan designed to provide even, subtle cooling to your bed.</p><div style="float: left; margin: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=CFCFCF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=236EA7&#038;t=httpwwwrealwe-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B0000V0E14" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><div style="float: left; margin: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=CFCFCF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=005B9F&#038;t=httpwwwrealwe-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B0017U2KQE" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p>Sometimes the most simple ideas can help as well: keep a cool glass of water within reach, and if you feel yourself beginning to heat up, hold the cool glass against the inside of your wrist.  This cools your blood where it passes tightly together as it circulates and can provide a system-wide sense of cool surprisingly quickly.  I also suggest keeping a low powered fan nearby and using light, 100 percent cotton bed sheets.</p><h4><strong>What Causes Menopause Night Sweats?</strong></h4><p>The most broadly accepted theory on menopause night sweats is that hot flashes are caused by a deficiency in estrogen circulating your system because of declining ovarian function. We also know that cycling estrogen levels are part of the picture as many women enjoy relief from night sweats while taking estrogen.</p><p>So it isn&#8217;t surprising that research suggests consuming soy might provide some relief for hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. I recommend, however, that you obtain your soy from food rather than from supplements. Foods which contain soy include tempeh, tofu, soy milk, miso, whole soybeans, soy powder (often as protein powders for soy shakes), and texturized vegetable protein.  Consider yourself a little lucky; <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/" title="night sweats in men">night sweats in men</a> deriving from a kind of andropause don&#8217;t have such common and tasty resources for treatment.</p><p>If you would like to be more aggressive with your menopause night sweats, you might discuss HRT &#8212; hormone replacement therapy &#8212; with your doctor.  Your doctor may also have some other medication suggestions depending the severity of your menopause night sweats, but I always prefer to take a minimal and natural approach before bringing in the big guns.</p><p>Learning to handle the inevitable aftermath of <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/" title="menopause night sweats"><u>menopause night sweats</u></a> is for another essay.

The reason might be psychological, because they&#8217;re confronting changes in their bodies and are being exposed to things which inaugurate them to adulthood. Simply put, teens in their pubescence stages tend to be more sweaty than those who are older or younger.</p><p>Like pubescence, menopause comprises a critical stage in an individual&#8217;s life. However, only women experience menopause. Menopause can set off excessive sweating in the same manner which puberty triggers changes within an individual&#8217;s biology. <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/" title="menopause night sweats">Menopause night sweats</a> can be particularly frustrating.</p><div id="attachment_324" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 170px"><img src="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/images/causes-of-excessive-sweating.jpg" alt="Causes of Excessive Sweating" title="Causes of Excessive Sweating" width="160" height="200" class="size-full wp-image-324" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Causes of Excessive Sweating</p></div><p>Oddly, men experience a kind of andropause as well, so <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/" title="night sweats in men">night sweats in men</a> is getting more attention lately.</p><h4><strong>Heredity</strong></h4><p>Many physicians consider excessive perspiration a function of your innate genes. This means that if your parents tend to perspire heavily, you might wind up enduring the kind of sweating difficulty as your parents as you mature.</p><h4><strong>Spinal Cord Problems</strong></h4><p>The spinal cord is a significant component of the central nervous system. It is the nervous system which really moderates the sweating mechanism of your body. Specific afflictions in the spinal area may trigger hyperhidrosis. Syringomyelia is one such problem, though it only triggers hyperhidrosis in rare situations. Lesions and tumors within the spinal cord area might also cause hyperhidrosis.</p><h4><strong>Nerve Malfunctions</strong></h4><p>The perspiration glands are positioned all over your body. These glands do the work of producing sweat. In the same manner, the nerves, which work as the brain&#8217;s receptors, are positioned all over the body. They are responsible for sending the messages to the brain from which it may act upon the sweat glands. If the nerves fail to function accurately, they may ask the brain to perspire due to incorrect stimuli. This may lead to hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating and even <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/sweating-while-sleeping/" title="sweating while sleeping">sweating while sleeping</a>.</p><h4><strong>Abnormal Brain Responses</strong></h4><p>Perspiration is controlled by the hypothalamus. It&#8217;s the same component of the brain that handles hungriness and thirst. It&#8217;s likewise in control of making certain that the body sustains a reliable temperature level to assure its regular cognitive operation. The brain might have a corrupted sensory response, inducing the body to perspire excessively. This is particularly true if you&#8217;re persevering  specific diseases or infections.</p><p>In and of itself, the brain might order the body to react by sweating as it believes that the temperature inside is rising. There may be a few emotional elements at play here as well. If you&#8217;re nervous, depressed, or distressed, your mental processes can get confused, leading to hyperhidrosis.</p><h4><strong>Obesity</strong></h4><p>Obese individuals tend to suffer from an excessive sweating that those whose body proportions are within a healthy range do not. This is because their sweat glands tend to operate twice as much to relinquish all excess minerals deemed undesirable by the body. The more obese you are, the more prone you are to developing excessive sweating.</p><h4><strong>Specific Food Allergies and Reactions</strong></h4><p>Did you know that many of the foods you consume may comprise the primary reason why you perspire so much? If you enjoy tasting hot and spicy foods, you could sooner or later suffer from excessive sweating. Attempt to decrease your consumption of these food items and determine whether it ameliorates your problem or not.</p><h4><strong>Heat And Hot Weather</strong></h4><p>This is a no-brainer. The hot weather may induce you to perspire uncontrollably. This is because your body needs to cool off every moment it reaches its peak.</p><p>Also, if you&#8217;re in a humid location and you&#8217;re accustomed the colder weather, you might suffer from excessive sweating more than those who are accustomed to the warmer climate.</p><h4><strong>Rigorous Physical Activities and Exercise</strong></h4><p>Another no-brainer:  Whenever a person&#8217;s body works, it heats up. And so if you do manual labor, you will tend to excrete perspiration to a higher degree than those who work in a standard air conditioned office. This is normal, of course.  Any rigorous activity will trigger your heat to rise and thus your sweat glands to excrete.</p><p>However, if you still sweat even when you&#8217;re not doing anything, then it is time to visit your doctor.</p><p>I hope this  illuminates the primary causes of excessive sweating.  Of course, there are many more causes of excessive sweating to describe, but as you can see this is already a relatively long page.  See if you can categorize yourself in one of these primary categories of excessive perspiration, then consult your physician to help you further define and address your condition.</p><p>Thank you for reading and thanks again for visiting <strong><a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/" title="Night Sweats">Night Sweats</a></strong>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/causes-of-excessive-sweating/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Night Sweats: News About Help For Night Sweats</title><link>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-news-about-help-for-night-sweats/</link> <comments>http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-news-about-help-for-night-sweats/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:39:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Joan</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Menopause Night Sweats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Night Sweats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Night Sweats In Men]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Help For Night Sweats]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/?p=189</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-news-about-help-for-night-sweats/">Night Sweats: News About Help For Night Sweats</a> is a post from: <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com">Night Sweats</a></p> My <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/" title="Night Sweats">Night Sweats</a> guide will soon be expanding and growing.

Sweating while sleeping causes are often harmless, so I urge you not to panic.  Panic attacks while sleeping won&#8217;t help you curb your rising body temperature as you try to get a good night&#8217;s sleep.</p><p>Sweating at night while sleeping often occurs for genetic reasons or simple environmental reasons.  If your dad sweat at night even in good health and you do too, you may simply have to learn to handle it as best as you can.  Fortunately both genetic and environmental causes of sweating while sleeping can be treated much the same way.  Whether the origin of your night sweats are serious or not, you should address this disruption of your sleep cycle as waking with damp sheets can still affect your overall health if you can&#8217;t get a good night&#8217;s rest.</p><h4><strong>Environmental Treatments for Night Sweating While Sleeping</strong></h4><p>First I want to encourage you to step back and really think about your sleep environment.  There are four specific areas I suggest you address:</p><h5><em>Set the Optimum Sleep Temperature to Stop Night Sweats</em></h5><p>Humans prefer cooler temperatures when they&#8217;re sleeping.  The ideal temperature for sleeping may vary depending on the individual, but generally the temperature in your bedroom should be between 66 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (which may cooler than you expected).  Get a cheap room temperature gauge at your local department store or discount super store and determine the temperature of your bedroom on most nights.  If it is more than a couple degrees above the recommended sleep temperature, consider lowering the thermostat during the winter months and increasing the air conditioner during the summer months.  See if you can integrate either a ceiling fan or a table fan into your room, but be careful not to let it push high velocity air right at you.</p><h5><em>Room Air Circulation</em></h5><p>Even  beyond the air temperature, humans by default don&#8217;t like being trapped in dead air.  By dead air I mean air which is entirely still.  While it is also unhealthy to have too much of a breeze on you while you sleep, you might check the air movement.  A lack of air movement may be associated with anxiety and panic attacks.  Sometimes all you need to do is create a path for air to move.  For example, open your bedroom door and your closet door.  This might be just enough to encourage some kind of air flow through the air.  Of course, a fan or an open window can help immensely.</p><h5><em>Bedsheets for Night Sweating, Material and Weight</em></h5><div id="attachment_236" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/images/sweating-while-sleeping.jpg" alt="Sweating While Sleeping" title="Sweating While Sleeping" width="200" height="150" class="size-full wp-image-236" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sweating While Sleeping</p></div><p>You&#8217;d be surprised how often I learn that people who are suffering from sweating while sleeping use thick, heavy fabrics while they sleep.  And because stylish blankets with shiny patterns are popular, people often cover themselves with blankets that don&#8217;t easily breathe (like polyester).  So check the tags on those blankets and bed sheets.  Ideally, you want light materials made from cotton or linen.  Linen is ideal, but it can be expensive.  A quality 100 percent cotton sheet will do fine as well.  Note that this means it should be either 100 percent cotton or 100 percent linen&#8230; or a combination of just those two fabrics.  If it has any polyester or satin in it, you want to remove it from your bedroom.   Instead of relying on heavy sheets or blankets, rely on lighter materials and use layers.</p><h5><em>Clothes or Pajamas for Night Sweating, Material and Weight</em></h5><p>The same variables I described in regards to bed sheets and blankets goes for sleep clothes or pajamas.  You want those pajamas to be made from light, breathable material.  Again, linen is ideal, but cotton is great too.  You may even find some pleasant wicking pajamas these days.  Those pajamas, which grew in popularity for their use by menopausal women, help to wick away moisture and heat.  But they can be effective even if you don&#8217;t suffer from <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/menopause-night-sweats/" title="menopause night sweats">menopause night sweats</a>.</p><h4><strong>Natural Remedies for Sweating While Sleeping</strong></h4><p>Here are some simple, natural remedies for treating your <strong>night sweating</strong>.  Please note that these are meant for people who are experiencing genetic or environmental night sweats.  If you&#8217;re confident you&#8217;re experiencing unusually severe sweating while sleeping, I urge you to consult with your physician.</p><ul><li>Let&#8217;s start simple. Keep a cool glass of water near your bed while you sleep.  Should you awaken, take a sip of the cool water.</li><li>Keep a couple ice cubes in that glass to make sure it is useful for this next tip: if you feel your temperature rising, place your wrists against the cool glass and hold them there for several seconds.  As your blood flows through this junction, it will cool and then cool the rest of your body as it flows on. (This is a great trick to use anywhere and anytime, by the way.)</li><li>Use specially designed bed devices to help you cool yourself. I suggest the chillow (see the Amazon link below and to the left there) and if you really want to get elaborate, try the bedfan.  These two devices provide an entirely natural and comfortable way to reduce your sleeping temperature in a safe and effective way.  I usually only suggest them for more severe situations, but many people enjoy their benefits, even people who don&#8217;t specifically suffer from night sweats.</li></ul><div style="float: left; margin: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=CFCFCF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=236EA7&#038;t=httpwwwrealwe-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B0000V0E14" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><div style="float: left; margin: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=CFCFCF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=005B9F&#038;t=httpwwwrealwe-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&#038;asins=B0017U2KQE" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><ul><li>This won&#8217;t help if you&#8217;re suffering from <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/night-sweats-in-men/" title="night sweats in men">night sweats in men</a>, but if you&#8217;re suffering from menopause, you might try taking black cohosh.  This natural herbal remedy has helped many (though not all) women suffering from menopause hot flashes sweating.</li><li>Try a small amount of tryptophan-heavy foods an hour before bed (peanut butter is tasty, easy and high in tryptophan).</li><li>Try some relaxing herbal remedies, such as chamomile and valerian.  You might also try melatonin, which helps your body reset its sleep cycle through a naturally-occuring hormone.</li></ul><h4><strong>Medical Causes for Excessive Night Sweating</strong></h4><p>Do try to address your <strong>sweating while sleeping</strong> through environmental control and natural remedies before you consider more serious conditions.  I say this because a vast majority of night sweats cases aren&#8217;t serious, but when they are serious, they can be very serious.  Here are some sleeping while sweating causes with medical origins:</p><ul><li><em>Medication side-effects:</em> Study enough labels and you&#8217;ll find that night sweating is one of the most common side-effects of potent prescription drugs. If you&#8217;re really experiencing a drenching night sweats, discuss your medications with your physician.</li><li><em>Infections:</em> Even minor infections can cause you to sweat at night.  However, you should also be on the lookout for more serious infections which may cause profuse night seats.  These include tuberculosis, endocarditis (heart valve swelling), osteomyelitis (bone inflammation) and an AIDS infection from the HIV virus.</li><li><em>Abscesses:</em> You might think this should fit under infections, but a long list of seemingly simple abscesses can cause severe sweating while sleeping.  This includes boils and even dental infections (yes, tooth decay can cause night sweats).  Note that some of these, like appendicitis, can be very, very serious.</li><li><em>Diabetes and Hypoglycemia:</em> Individuals suffering from diabetes or hypoglycemia who are taking insulin or other medications to moderate their blood sugar may suffer from sweating while sleeping.</li><li><em>Hormonal Changes: </em> As I mentioned earlier, women experiencing menopause often experience hot flashes at night.  But that&#8217;s not the only time our body&#8217;s may experience radical shifts in body temperature.  Men may experience a kind of andropause and it isn&#8217;t unusual for individuals to experience night sweats during adolescence or during pregnancy as well.</li></ul><p>There are, of course, many other causes of excessive <em>sweating while sleeping</em>, but I think this is essay is getting long enough already.  In another article I cover, more generally, the <a href="http://www.helpfornightsweats.com/causes-of-excessive-sweating/" title="causes of excessive sweating">causes of excessive sweating</a>.
