I sweat during naps a lot....I don't get it...why do I not sweat during the middle of the night but during naps I do?

11/3/2009 4:06:56 PM

I do this too! I hate it.

11/3/2009 4:07:17 PM

I woke up last night really hot so I took off my shirt and then all was well again

11/3/2009 4:07:28 PM

i'll occasionally go thru times when i wake up sweaty a few nights in a row. i've narrowed the cause down to either anxiety or my cycle. it's so grossssssss

maybe you're getting sick?

11/3/2009 4:08:00 PM

yea i dunno. cause i don't even have my heat on and its not like i'm hot i just am sweaty. it is gross. i hope i'm not getting sick.

maybe it is anxiety. who knows. maybe i had a bad dream? i really can't remember haha.

11/3/2009 4:09:00 PM

you're probably metabolizing some sugar

did you drink? eat some foods?

11/3/2009 4:09:06 PM

no drinking (of the alcoholic variety). i usually drink water before bed? but that only explains my need to pee 6 times a night.

11/3/2009 4:11:18 PM

If it's not 72 degrees or less in my room I'll sweat my ass off at night.

11/3/2009 4:12:28 PM

it helps me cut weight so i try to encourage it

i can lose a good 2 pounds over night just by night sweating provided i dont get a midnight snack

11/3/2009 4:12:29 PM

I still do it when it's like 65 degrees

11/3/2009 4:13:14 PM

yea that is what i'm saying they are sweats when i'm not hot at all

i just wake up all sweaty but it isn't because of the like temp in my house or anything

and i wake up sweaty in places i don't normally sweat like...my legs will be completely soaked in sweat

11/3/2009 4:14:57 PM

body positioning, are you against the wall facing it?

11/3/2009 4:16:00 PM

Shit, I thought this was about:

11/3/2009 4:16:42 PM

Oh I set my temp to like 62 when I sleep lol

I still sweat it out though

sometimes! i toss and turn. when i wake up my bed is a wreck.

11/3/2009 4:18:19 PM

id also imagine having the top of your head covered somehow would lead to more profuse sweating since thats such a huge evaporative cooling point in the human body

whoa i think i heard the sky falling

11/3/2009 4:20:20 PM

hahaha. oh no menopause! i also saw on the mayo clinic website that lots of cancers, hiv, and certain medicatios can cause it.

one of the medications i'm on is on the list! so hopefully that is all it is.

11/3/2009 4:20:39 PM

I wish I had a nice, convenient explanation. No cancer please.

11/3/2009 4:25:13 PM

This shit is the worst... why does this happen?

11/3/2009 4:26:04 PM

i just always feel like i have to wash my sheets after this happens. which is a lot of sheet washing.

11/3/2009 4:27:59 PM

I hate it

11/3/2009 4:30:01 PM

You gon die

11/3/2009 7:15:16 PM

you have cum in your hair and your dick is hanging out

11/3/2009 7:16:12 PM

i get these when i quite the weed for several days

11/3/2009 7:18:39 PM

maybe you should check into a methadone clinic

11/3/2009 7:19:45 PM

fucking google?

drinking
eating spicy foods
menopause

11/3/2009 7:21:40 PM

no
no
no

so google did not help me. and i DID google. i got: medicine, cancer, other diseases, etc. i will chalk it up to medicine orrrrrr just being anxious.

11/3/2009 8:24:06 PM

Stress... everything you post on here re: health is almost 100% stress/anxiety related to be honest.

When I was in grad school this would happen to me from time to time... it's all stress/anxiety. Actually all the stuff that you have mentioned was pretty textbook for what I had.

When I started really doing other things (working out/basketball/running) is when it finally all went away... but everyone is different in getting over it.

i've been trying to eat healthier (which DOES make me feel better) and work in a lil' exercise. but i'm always tired. but i probably wouldn't be tired if i exercised! it is a vicious cycle.

11/3/2009 8:30:14 PM

just sleep naked

11/3/2009 8:31:35 PM

it isn't because i'm hot, yo!

and i practically sleep naked anyway. tshirt and undiessss.

11/3/2009 8:32:21 PM

one medication I was on made me sweat so much at night that I would wake up thinking I wet the bed

after a few weeks of that, I talked to my doc and we lowered the dosage and it stopped

11/3/2009 8:35:53 PM

at least i can cross pregnancy off the list

I only wake up at night covered in sweat when I am too cold. I don't usually realize that I am too cold until I end up putting on a shirt and avoiding the sweating for the rest of the evening.

11/3/2009 8:38:58 PM

You were probably dreaming about me

11/3/2009 8:39:26 PM

you're going through menopause

11/3/2009 8:49:28 PM

tuberculosis

11/3/2009 8:56:32 PM

taking any benzo's or opiates?

11/3/2009 8:57:26 PM

nah but i take antidepressants and apparently night sweat is a side effect

i've just never had them until the past like week or so, which is weird cause i've been taking the medicine way longer than that. oh welllll.

(not any benzos though)

Did somewhere actually list spicy foods? Because if that can do it I think I found my problem. And I will have to deal with it because I'm not giving up my hot sauce.

11/3/2009 10:59:03 PM

Last week, this happened to me twice in a row. I know this is weird but the more clothing I wear, the less likely I sweat, but I wore my normal pj pants and t shirt. I, too did a search. But I finally concluded that it was probably a mix of fluctuating hormones and anxiety. It makes sense since a woman's hormone profile is constantly changing AND menopause causes night sweats and this is attributed to a change in hormones.
I'm not saying that girls that have nightsweats are going through menopause, I just think its a change in the hormonal profile given in the month.

11/4/2009 8:14:08 AM

stop sleeping so close to dudes. they are motherfucking FURNACES.

11/4/2009 8:17:53 AM

I wish that was my problem right now

Though the last guy I dated did it too. We were gross together.

11/4/2009 9:43:42 AM

Everyone sweats plenty at night, whether you know it or not... waking up soaked obviously isn't normal though. Like I said, in the OPs case I'm sure it's just stress/anxiety. Not much you can do about it accept try and chip away at the underlying cause, which isn't exactly easy to do...
