Help For Night Sweats

Okay, so I’m sifting through the Internet trying to find some new, genuinely effective ways to provide help for night sweats.

It can be a little intimidating as I feel there are a gobs and gobs of nonsense miracle cures out there.

Then I came across something that makes a lot of sense. The Chillow. I have no idea how legitimate it is just yet, but I’m really curious and I was wondering if anyone out there had tried this thing yet.

How Does The Chillow Work?

The Chillow is designed to be placed on a conventional pillow, or slip inside the pillowcase. It works by conducting heat away from your body, keeping you at the right temperature to sleep.

Inside the Chillow is a patented foam core which is fully activated using ordinary tap water. Once the water is fully absorbed and all the air expelled to create a vacuum, The Chillow cools down naturally to provide a comfortable, dry, cool surface which dissipates body heat and gently soothes.

The Chillow works without power, chemicals or refrigeration and is always ready to use – unlike gel-pads which have to be pre-cooled.

I can remember even in my best health wishing the pillow remained cool. This is an incredibly cool idea. (Pun sloppily intended — hey, we’re talking about a “chillow” so don’t laugh at me.)

Not only could this help with menopause night sweats, but it could help provide a more comfortable, peaceful night’s rest for everyone.

I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve experimented with one. If anyone out there has tried it or something similar let me know.

Dawn Klingensmith recently wrote an interesting article for philly.com regarding the relationship between menopause and heart disease. This is relevant because if you’re suffering from menopause night sweats you should really consider discussing this revelation with your physician. Dawn details:

Hormonal changes preceding menopause are known to cause hot flashes, night sweats, irritability and loss of libido. Now, new research suggests shifting hormone levels puts certain women at risk for cardiovascular disease - and the so-called “male” hormone, testosterone, is to blame.

Estrogen levels nosedive as a woman transitions into menopause, so the naturally occurring testosterone in her body eventually predominates. Testosterone exists in either a bound or “free” state. Bound testosterone is partnered with a protein that renders it inactive, while free - or bioavailable -testosterone is at liberty to “cause some action” in the body, says lead investigator Imke Janssen, a statistician at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago. As her study shows, free testosterone might also cause some trouble.

It had already been established that women tend to develop cardiovascular disease 10 years later than men, with a marked increase throughout the menopausal years. In fact, women older than 55 are more likely than men to have the disease.

Welcome back to Help For Night Sweats. While I’ve had a busy summer, I haven’t been idle with this site. I really hope my additions help you combat these frustrating night sweats.

I just rolled out my first article to address menopause night sweats:

I have several more articles aimed in that general direction, but I don’t want to ignore night sweats in men, either.

I’m working with a close friend at the local natural pharmacy on a guide to herbal and homeopathic remedies for night sweats. I appreciate how some people might be skeptical about these solutions, but please recognize how I’m only providing as many opportunities to address your discomfort as possible. I certainly don’t expect every method or every remedy to work for every individual out there.

I’ll probably put an emphasis on things that have worked for me, but I’ll write with an understanding that each individual is different and could be suffering from night sweats for very different reasons.

One last note: I recently discovered a very cool (pun intended) device to help literally cool you while you sleep. I hope to write more about this device in the very near future. It’s a fun discovery and I hope it provides some much-needed relief to some of my visitors.

Thanks again for visiting Help For Night Sweats and I hope you return soon!

Welcome to my new website, Help For Night Sweats! With this site and blog I will discuss a condition I fought for years before I could obtain a good night’s rest: sleep hyperhidrosis. But we’ll keep it casual and refer to it by its more common name, night sweats.

I will begin by identifying the most common causes of night sweats, including causes of menopause night sweats and specific triggers for night sweats in men. I currently have those pages and an overview completed on the front page.

I will then discuss more serious causes which might afflict anyone. This includes some conditions which might scare people, so I will be cautious in describing their association with night sweats. Remember that night sweats are fairly common, so don’t always assume the worst as I describe these conditions.

And finally, of course, I will discuss both common remedies and the methods I’ve personally used to take back the night. I will cover both traditional treatments as well as some herbal remedies some individuals might find useful. In some cases I may provide reviews of common products used to combat night sweats.

So please stick with me over the coming months as I research and write the content to roll out for your benefit. I really do hope I can help others conquer the night as I have and regain peaceful, restful sleep.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you’ll return to Help For Night Sweats soon.
