There are many reasons for waking up sweating: You could have too many blankets on or you tend to overheat in the night. If it's none of those, then the issue goes deeper than the surface. One reason could be that you've just awoken from a nightmare, or your dream was intense. If that's the case, it can help to write down your dream in a journal. You can later reflect on it. Even if you don't remember much of your dream, anything is better than nothing. If it's a simple "I woke up sweating.", that's a great start.

Do you suffer from nightmares, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or anxiety? That could be two possible causes that come to my mind. I suggest maybe bringing it up with your doctor next time you see them and maybe try sleeping with less blankets because you could be getting sweaty because your hot. Also, depending on your age it could corrospond with your hormones for example, Menapause suffers often struggle with night sweats and "hot flushes". I hope you can find an answer for it soon, Best of luck! Bianca :)

You can wake up sweating due to possible stress occurred before you fall asleep, even if it’s thinking about things and not realising it, or it could even possibly be because of bad dreams that can work you up in the middle of the night, which can tense your body, and make you sweat. It is a normal thing, although if you wish to stop it, then you should perhaps try thinking about things that get you stressed before bed, and it this happens continuously, you should seek serious help from someone like a doctor or therapist to help you.

You may be sleeping in a too hot temperature room, you may be having nightmares or night terrors, to stop this you can try sleeping with the window open if you are sleeping in a too hot room, turning down the thermostat. If you are stressed before sleep you often wake up stressed , try listening to sleep meditation of only watching/read lighthearted things before sleep. Try sleeping with a thinner duvet, wearing less heavy articles of clothing and so on. Its hard to pinpoint the cause of this specifically, it could be a range of things but if stressed talk to anyone about it just get it off your chest.

Okay waking up sweating everyone who has been through this knows it's kind of weird. Through experience I questioned why I wake up sweating. I came to the conclusion that my eating was unhealthy maybe to much caffeine too much sugars. Scientifically waking up with sweating can be numerous reasons why . Drug use can be a reason due to withdrawls a person can experience waking up sweating the best way to find out why you wake up sweating is notifying your provider and explain your situation and stay hydrated. The body cools its self down by sweating so try taking a cold shower before bed or simply drinking acold glass of water.

I can't say specifically why you wake up sweating, but I know this happens to me sometimes too. Usually when it does, I have been having a nightmare about something in my past. Maybe you could start to keep track of when this happens and what your experiences were with your dreams or emotions that you are feeling. I know for me when I wake up like this, I normally am feeling anxious, confused and sometimes am in a more stressful situation than normal. So if you find yourself feeling this way too, maybe try thinking about some things you can do for self care when it happens. I hope this helps and good luck!

If you frequently find yourself waking up drenched in perspiration, you are likely suffering from night sweats. it could also be because you are eating too many spicy foods, or stressing out too much due to personal reasons. it can also be because of the amount of pressure or thoughts that you have kept inside you that bothers you too much that you are having problems falling asleep. Sweating can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Having a drink or two in the evening may sound relaxing, but it can lead to increased body temperature and therefore cause sweating.

Normally, your body sweats to regulate its temperature, and you sweat more during exercise, hot conditions, and stressful situations. If you wake with body sweat there can be a number of reasons related to anything from hormones to illness to stress and so on. Night sweats are a really common complaint Doctors will say if they are really bothersome and interfering with life, it’s time to see a doctor. With so many potential causes, you are well within your right to consult a doctor—even if it’s simply to assuage your concerns. In most cases, your doctor will review your symptoms, do a physical exam, and probably do some bloodwork or other lab exams as they see fit.

I wake up sweating because I am too hot and have too many covers on my bed. I sweat because I am emotionally wrapped up in a problem that I have not resolved. I am trying to problem solve in my sleep instead of at my desk. Problem solving generally requires looking at the entire problem and its inputs, evaluating why there is an issue, and putting together several scenarios that may work as a solution. Allowing a sleep solution to problems is very slow and sometimes very ineffective because the subconcious is not attuned to rational probems.

There are many reasons as to why you wake up sweating. I have also woken up sweating before due to bad dreams at times or uncomfortable heat. These might be some things that are influence your sweating but it also might not be. You would be able to understand the reason for your sweating the best. Is there anything about the environment that you sleep in that might be causing you to sweat? What kinds of emotions are usually on your mind when you go to sleep? Sweating does not necessarily mean that you have any sort of medical issue as you may think.
