Why do I wake up sweating?

If you had a stressful dream or encounter in a previous day, you may have had a panic attack in your sleep.

I wake up sweating because my dream was so intense and my body thought it was really happening... oh, and the room is too hot.lol

If you have a lot of covers on then your body probably overheats. Even if you don't your body is a self-heater so when we wear clothes and/or have any form of blanket on top of us it tends to keep the heat in which is awesome for winter but not so much for other seasons. Could also be you had a nightmare or experienced negative emotions in your sleep you are unaware of and caused your body to react.

You might wake up sweating because you're anxious or nervous about something. You could also be having some troubling dreams.

i wake up seating normally from hot temperature or from a terrible nightmare that jolts me in sleep

First of all you need to know that Sweat is a liquid that is made by the skin when the body is hot. Sweat is made in sweat glands under the surface of the skin, and it comes out of tiny holes in the skin called pores. Sweat is mostly water, but it also contains some salts. The body makes sweat to cool itself down. Thats on the scientific side. On the other hand the right question is "Why is my body warming up while I am sleeping" The answer could by psychological or medical. You could be suffering from a kind of infection that raises your body's temperature and due to that you wake up sweating. Also it can be you suffering from a certain kind of dreams that you dont remember in the morning

It might be because of nightmares. Do you remember your dreams? Another possible reason is too much stress and anxiety that piles up during the day.

My accunpunurist told me that it has to do with Kidney function. In my own experience it can also be from hormonal changes in the body.

Sometimes I wake up in sweat because I had a nightmare that shows me everything that's going wrong in my life and it is just too scary

It could be as simple as your room being too hot. However, it could be something of a health concern. If it persists, you should contact your GP

If you experience waking up sweating more often than you used to, you may be suffering from sleep hyperhidrosis. Night sweat usually occur at night even when ambient temperature is cool. It can happen anytime when one is asleep, then suddenly waking up sweating and feeling very hot. It can be distressful and can lead to insomnia. This condition is different from flushing, which can also occur during daytime. There are many possible causes for you to wake up sweating these include: Infections: Tuberculosis, a condition accompanied by chronic pneumonia, cough, weight loss, and fever Endocarditis or inflammation of heart valves Cystitis or urinary bladder infection Osteomyelitis or bone infection Histoplasmosis , a fungal infection often associated with AIDS patients Lung, liver or spleen abscess Any infection with fever: bacterial infections like brucellosis, viral infections like mononucleosis , fungal infections like coccidioidomycosis Other Diseases: Stress or anxiety Chronic fatigue syndrome Chest pain Gastro-esophageal reflux disease Diabetic neuropathy, a nerve disorder related to diabetes Pulmonary edema due to heart failure Inflammatory bowel disease Ulcerative colitis Sarcoidosis Thyroid disorders like Hashimoto's disease Granulomatous disease, a hereditary disease affecting the immune system Endocrine system disorders like diabetes and acromegaly Myelofibrosis, a bone marrow disorder Diabetes insipidus Rheumatological Causes: Takayasu's Arteritis Temporal Arteritis Malignancies or Cancers: Lymphoma or cancer of the lymphoid cells Leukemia or cancer of the blood Other types of cancer like breast cancer Neurological Conditions Autonomic dysreflexia Posttraumatic syringomyelia Stroke Dysautonomia Epilepsy Cerebral palsy Sudden onset migraine Head trauma Medications for neurological disorders Sleep Disorders Sleep apnea Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Phentermine, a drug used to control obesity and sleep apnea Medication Antipsychotics Antidepressants Antihypertensives Antipyretics Antihistamines Hypoglycemic agents Hormones Steroid medications Medicines containing niacin, nitroglycerin, tamoxifen, etc. Other drugs, including Accupril, Ambien, Cozaar, Viagra, Zoloft, etc Post-Surgery Chemotherapy Orchiectomy, or removal of testicles in prostate cancer patients Substance Abuse Alcohol abuse Drug abuse including marijuana, heroin, and other prescription drugs Withdrawal from drugs Mercury Poisoning Mercury poisoning can causes serious problems including hyperhidrosis.

Mercury poisoning can also affect the body’s immune system, causing easier exposure to infections.

You may wake up sweating because you are nervous. Don't worry, this happens often. Try talking to a close friend. It will help, believe me :)

The only times I wake up sweating is when I have a bad dream, during summer, when I am ill or I have an anxiety attack in my sleep

You may have had a traumatic dream/ nightmare. Sometimes throughout the night i will suddenly awaken for no reason and be pouring out with sweat. If this constantly has happened for several nights in a row i would advise seeing a doctor for advise

Any number of reasons- people who work out a lot sweat at lower temperatures. It could also be a side effect of medication, sleep apnea, or a panic disorder. If it is a common occurrence you may want to see a doctor.

There are several reasons as to why you wake up, sweating. They are a bad dream, a warm room temperature or even a physical condition that causes hot flashes.

Any number of reasons could lead to a person waking up sweating, such as waking from a recent nightmare.

In my experience it can be for a number of reasons. You may have been eating and drinking late at night, which fuels your body and mind and makes sleeping very uncomfortable. It may be hormonal or you may be developing an illness. It may simply be that there is not enough ventilation in your room.

because is too hot? because you drunk too much water? because the blanket are too warm? because your partner is hugging you? because you have too much energy and your body is the only way?

worst case night sweats could indicate a serious prolem,they can be a symptom of autoimmune disease,heart problems,endocrine disorders,HIV,TB certain cancers, sleep apnea and panic disorders

someones wake up sweating due the lack of fresh air in the room that make it hot and dreams can generate sweat

Maybe a bad dream, my anxious thoughts in your sleep, maybe the room is too hot lol. To be serious though anxiety can plague us even after the sun goes down.

I wake up sweating when I have nightmares. I have been prone to anxiety in the past and, when my life becomes too stressful, it tends to come across in my sleep.

Well, there might be a lot of reason. First of all, may be weather causes your sweating. The room you sleep may be too hot to sleep. If degree of room is normal but you still sweating, may be you saw a bad dream and that caused it. I'm not qualified about this but for what i live, these things causes wake up sweating. I hope its helpful.

Your body could be overheated. You could have also had a bad dream which caused your body to go into a panic mode, therefore causing you to sweat.

This can be caused by nightmares or just getting hot. However, you should seek medical attention because some diseases can cause this, for example, diabetes, HIV, and Tuberculosis to name a few.
