Sweating is normal under the nights, because the body relieves unnecessary particles from our skin. Sweating can also be a side-effect of many medicines like antidepressants. If this problem bothers you constantly, I advice you to talk with a doctor.

I can only answer for myself, but I used to think that was normal. I thought everyone woke up in a hot flash. It turned out that it was because I had sleep apnea. I didn't get tested for it because of the sweating, but I did notice that they stopped after I was able to use my bi-PAP, and I notice that I wake up hot if I forget to put it on. There may be different reasons for you, but that was mine.

Firstly, look at your physical environment. Is your bedroom too hot, or do you have thick pyjamas or a thick duvet on your bed? Sometimes people do wake up sweaty, and it's just a normal thing to do! If your sweating is excessive, and your environment doesn't offer any clues, maybe check in with your doctor? Another explanation could be that you have had a nightmare or unpleasant dream that you don't remember, and the sweating is simply your body's response to a perceived threat.
This can be for many reasons. Do you have bad dreams? Do you struggle to go to sleep? Is this a recent event in your life? Has something else happened in your life that coincided with this? These can be some routes to an answer.
this can be due to a number of reasons, if this is due to a panic attack and occuring on a regular basis then medical assistance should be given.
Excessive sweating is called Hyperhidrosis. Night sweats can be from different number of things. Night terrors, sleep disorders, medications, or medical conditions. See your doctor if it's a bother to you.
There could be several reasons... Might be it was such a hot day or ur air con was not on or you could be worrying about something and anxiety makes you nervous and sweat.. so you probably might not be sleeping well..
I wake up sweating when I have a bad dream, I suffer from extremely realistic and vivid nightmares on a daily bases. Whenever this happens I wake up in a terrible sweat.
Waking up sweating can be a sign that you have had a nightmare, been anxious or panicky in your sleep or you overheated whilst sleeping, although if it is a recurring incident then consult your doctor as it could be a medical issue but a one off or once a week sort of thing is probably nothing to worry about
I might just had a bad dream, and got pretty anxious about what happened inside the dream, like running away from someone or etc.
There are many different reasons you can wake up sweating. Overall it's a biological response to your sleeping environment being too warm. That could simply mean your just tossing and turning too much, it could mean that you had a bad dream, or it could just be that the room was too warm under the covers. If you think it's a dream, try and connect with a friend about it and reflect.
Try to check proper ventilation ; the sheets you are using ;and the routine you had been doing everyday; otherwise consult doctor
I woke up sweating once because i had a bad dream... probably because i worried to the max. I cried soon after waking up. It's good that I have a hobby that keeps my mind off my problems, because without it I'm sure I'd wake up sweating every morning.
You may have just experienced a bad dream that could have caused some anxiety OR your body could be temperature sensitive.

There are many reasons to wake up sweating. Most of the time it is related to anxiety. One possible reason is a bad dream or nightmare. Another reason that is unrelated to stress or anxiety is the room is too hot.

Your body is cleaning off the oils off you but the sweat usually sticks to you so the oil starts to have a smell
That could be because of a bad dream or when I feel uncomfortable or sick! It also happens when something unsettling occurs inside me!

I wake up sweating after having a nightmare that really terrified me. It made the hairs on my arms stand up and it made me sweat. The nightmare is all I could think about.

This may happen when you have a bad dream. You wake up sweating because the dream gave you stress causing you to stress sweat.
Well it could be stress, it could be just to warm at night. Try a fab or a lighter blanket. Having a window open helps also.
I haven't woken up sweating in a long time. In the past, it was because the a/c wasn't set cold enough. Now, during warm months I sleep with a fan pointed at the bed.

That's probably because your brain was working really hard to process your underlying thoughts of the day

Maybe you had a nightmare or something in that context. Or maybe you move quite a bit in your sleep.
Sometimes I wake up sweating because I had an especially bad dream. Sometimes its a sign that my body is out of whack and I might be getting sick. If my body is processing junk food or excess stress I also will have trouble sleeping.
I had the falling dream, the one where you fall for eternity, but for me the dream ends a couple minutes AFTER I hit the floor
You wake up sweating, maybe due to your body overheating while you sleep, so your body will sweat to cool you down.
