You are sooooo hot!
But not in a good way if you’re suffering through night sweats. So, let’s get this straight. Besides the fact that you already had several hot flashes during the day and you had some trouble getting to sleep in the first place, you wake in the night feeling as if you’ve been thrust into an inferno – plus, your blood feels like it’s boiling and your sheets are damp. Definitely not the kind of hot you want to be. What you may need is some balance – hormone balance – to help you generate a different kind of heat.
What are Night Sweats?
A common symptom of menopause, night sweats are similar to hot flashes or hot flushes. However, a night sweat occurs in your sleep and causes more sweating than a normal hot flash, often significantly dampening the bed. Upon waking, you often feel either too hot or too cold.
What causes Night Sweats in Women?
Night sweats in women are another one of the most recognizable symptoms of menopause and hormone imbalance.
Much like hot flashes, low estrogen and its effect on the hypothalamus is often specifically what causes night sweats in women. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that controls appetite, body temperature, sleep and sex hormones. Reduced natural estrogen levels fool the hypothalamus into believing that the body is too hot. Subsequently, a night sweat occurs in an effort to purge the body of this fictional excess heat.
