Good Lifestyle

Nocturnal sweating can provide important indications about your health and signal the presence of serious conditions. Excess nocturnal sweating may indicate a condition called hyperhidrosis, in which the body produces an excessive amount of sweating during sleep. Normally, during sleep, the body should regulate the temperature without requiring excessive perspiration.

A lower temperature in the bedroom, the use of light blankets and ensuring adequate camera ventilation contributes to a healthy and restful sleep. In contrast, sleeping in a room too hot and wearing thick pajamas can often lead to excessive sweating, which has the role of regulating body temperature.

For most people, the problem of nocturnal sweating can be solved by adjusting sleep habits. Sometimes, it is enough to lower the temperature in the bedroom or use lighter blankets.

• Menopause is one of the most common causes of night sweats in women. These are generated by sudden changes in hormonal levels, especially estrogen fluctuations.

• Most of the causes associated with nocturnal sweating are not serious problems that require treatment.

• However, severe night sweats can be related to chronic conditions, such as tuberculosis. These can be accompanied by intermittent fever, chest pain, cough (sometimes with blood) and difficulty breathing.

• Anxiety and stress can also cause excessive fever and sweating.

• Transpiration can also be a symptom of some nervous system disorders, especially Parkinson's disease.

• People suffering from chronic hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may have nocturnal sweating and breathing difficulties.
