Sometimes waking up sweating can be directly related to night terrors and or bad dreams that you’re having. You might not be aware of them because you don’t actually remember them, but that doesn’t mean they’re not occurring. Furthermore, it’s common for individuals to suffer from night panic – in which you just wake up in a panic.
Moving around a lot on your sleep or maybe you wear too much clothes when sleeping or you duvet is too thick :)
might be possible you had a nightmare. which is very normal. what i would suggest is before going to bed try thinking about happy thoughts.

I wake up sweating always that i have the same old dream that made me feel insecure, i´m always in the dark and running as fast as i can but it is never fast enought.
Your body is fighting to maintain a constant temperature even while a rep, sweating helps with that
Sweat is a natural reaction to many things, we sweat when we excersise, when we're too warm, when we're afraid or angry. Your sweating may just be a normal physical reaction your body is giving you, it may simply be too warm, or you could've had a frightful dream, waking up sweating because of that.
Could be lucid dreaming. Your house could be too warm. It could be the type of food you ate before bed. There are many reasons to wake up sweaty from sleeping, but we usually sweat to regulate our body temperature, so it could be environmental reasons.

higher humidity or most probably due to stress full nights. it has happened when your significant other is not satisfying your needs.
Sometimes things from the past (bad memories ect.) have a way of making it into your dreams and torturing you. Find some way to work around this, like talking to a friend or a therapist.
whenever u have a nightmare of something horror experience or something bad then u vl get sweat. other reason could b warmth of surroundings.
It may be because of heat. It also can be because of stress, a bad dream, or something along those lines

This happens to most people. It may be because of bad dreams causing you to fuss in your sleep or wearing too many layers
There a lot of reasons for night sweats, most of them medically-related. Rather than Google "night sweats" and be terrified by the sheer volume of things that it could be, mention it to your physician and see if he / she would like you to come in for blood tests and such. It may be as simple as just keeping your room thermostat a bit cooler, or you may be prone to intense dreams. Either way, a physician is a good place to start!
It can be caused by bad dreams, nightmares or it can be detox or withdrawal symptom from drugs, alcohol or pills.
Maybe because u had a bad dream what you do is get up and take a bath and try and sleep again if it don't work use deodorant

I wake up sweating because I've had a nightmare. I wake up sweating because I'm stressed about a test or a personal problem.

Are you under stress? You do spend enough time in relaxing yourself? Following a regular sleep hygeine may help

The most obvious and likely reason is you are warm while sleeping, try using less blankets when you sleep
Night sweats can happen for many different reasons. The most obvious is that you are becoming too hot when sleeping! However, they can also be due to things like hormone and endocrine dysfunction (i.e menopause, hypothyroidism). If you find that you are sweating often and profusely at night, especially to the point that your sleep is being disturbed, please seek medical advice.

I'm not a doctor, but there are many causes for night sweats. The simplest could be that your sleeping with too many blankets/covers on. Another factor could be your body is responding to stress or anxiety as you sleep by raising or lowering your heart rate and/or blood pressure. It could be the result of medications, street drugs, alcohol, or caffeine as well. And if you're a woman over 40 (in most cases) then it could also be menopause. Try lowering the thermostat in your home by a couple degrees to see if that helps, and sleep in lighter clothing or no clothing. If it doesn't resolve the issue, see a doctor and have some blood tests run to find out if there is any type of medical concern. Also eating a heavy meal before bed can affect this as well.
It's because of having nightmares which is due to us being stressed about something which we went through the day before getting to bed to sleeo

you could maybe be having night terrors/nightmares. is this something that happens quite often? it is quite a common thing
This usually happens to me when I go to bed cold and sleep with blankets over me, Then I end up tossing and turning in my sleep and working up a sweat!

For me, its because of two reasons, either one or the other. When I sleep with blankets on I get really hot, and maybe that is one reason. But the other one is that when I dream, sometimes I get my real-life problems inside my dreams, my heartbeat accelerates and that is why I wake up all sweaty.
Is it after a bad dream? Is it cold sweat? Is it hot sweat? Hot sweat can be because your blanket is too thick, if it is cold sweat after, can be after a nightmare. Have you noticed any relation?
It's most likely physical probably hormonal but night sweats should always be mentioned to the doctor just in case of a more serious disease

Sleep is one of the few things one can do without over thinking about it. But I have always feared nightmares, that are nothing short of mild panic attacks. Nightmares are a terrible thing. The fear of falling in an empty space cause me to get up panting and sweating, along with the fear of going back to sleep again.
To answer that, it would be good to get to the root of it - how do you feel before you go to bed? Taking up a dream diary might help you remember your dreams as well, which could also be useful in looking at what they might mean and why they lead to this end result of waking up sweatin. :)
