Night sweats - Optimum Hormone Clinic

What are night sweats?

Night sweats refer to excessive sweating during sleep. They involve sweating to the point where your sleep clothes and bedding become soaked, even though the room temperature is cool and comfortable.

Some key points about night sweats:

• They can occur due to medical conditions like cancer, infections, hormone problems, low blood sugar, anxiety disorders, etc. Getting an accurate diagnosis is important.
• Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women commonly experience hot flashes and night sweats due to changing estrogen levels. Supplements like black cohosh may help.
• Medications and substances like antidepressants, hypoglycemics, tamoxifen, alcohol, nicotine, etc. can also trigger sweating at night.
• Making simple lifestyle modifications often helps reduce night sweats - wearing lightweight pajamas, keeping the room cooler, taking a cool shower before bed, limiting spicy foods and alcohol before bedtime, etc.

If you're struggling with disruptive night sweats, have your physician evaluate potential causes. The experts at Optimum Hormone Clinic offer comprehensive hormone testing and evidence-based treatment plans to help curb troublesome menopausal symptoms like night sweats. Their individualized bioidentical hormone therapy regimens help patients find relief.

Some key questions about night sweats:

How often should you change sweat-soaked sleepwear and bedding when experiencing night sweats? It's best to change out of damp pajamas and bedding right after a night sweat episode to stay comfortable and avoid chill. Have extra sleepwear and sheets on hand for easy nighttime changes.

What temperature is best for the bedroom when dealing with night sweats? The ideal bedroom temperature is around 65°F (18°C) or cooler. This helps manage sweating while still allowing comfortable sleep under a lightweight cover. Using fans and opening windows can also keep airflow moving.
