You many be going through a panic attack while sleeping maybe you had a dream and thought it was real which triggered a panic attack alternatively it could be anxiety within sleep. Anxiety can be triggers while sleeping as well with dreams or in this case nightmares of your worst fears could be failing or you’re reliving an embarrassing moment. This is normal within everyone we all have dreams and nightmares that cause us to sweat but it becomes prominent that is unusual. If you don’t know why you wake up sweating it’s probably anxiety but dreams are forgotten quickly.

There can be many reasons why someone wakes up sweating. For starters, it could be that your blanket is causing you too warm or the temperature in your room. It can also have to do with your mental health, as anxiety or stress can cause you to sweat in your sleep. It can also be related to your health conditions, some people are naturally hotter than others. If you take medications, certain medications can cause you to sweat a lot as well. If using a lighter blanket does not stop the excess sweating, seeing a doctor is highly suggested.

An overactive mind might cause you to feel stressed during the night. This might be due to general stress or anxiety. Your brain sends signals to your body to start sweating, which is its way of handling stress. To counter this, it's important to build in a fixed bedtime routine, in which you avoid screens and other electronical devices. A warm shower or hot bath might soothe you. Reading in bed if you have difficulty falling asleep is also recommended. Sweating might also be caused by a high bedroom temperature, a medical condition, drinking and eating too much before bed and some medications. You should consult your doctor if symptoms persist.

There can be many reasons. The most obvious one is that it is too warm in your room - your sleeping gown is too warm, your blanket could be too warm or your room in general might be too warm. This issues have easy solutions - less clothes/blanket, opened windows, turn off the heat.
Other reason could be something in your sleep. We often sweat when we have bad dreams/nightmares, as our body feels stressed and sweats. Then it might be time to think about the dreams and what they can mean.
There also can be sexual dreams which can lead to sweating. They're for sure not harmful, but it also won't be so easy to get rid of them.

It's normal to sweat during the night if the room or your bedding is making you too hot. Night sweats are when you sweat so much that your night clothes and bedding are soaking wet, even though where you're sleeping is cool. Adults and children can get night sweats.These may be signs of secondary hyperhidrosis -- excessive sweating due to medications or a medical condition. Normally, your body sweats to regulate its temperature, and you sweat more during exercise, hot conditions, and stressful situationsNight sweats are repeated episodes of extreme perspiration that may soak your nightclothes or bedding and are related to an underlying medical condition or illness. You may occasionally awaken after having perspired excessively, particularly if you are sleeping under too many blankets or if your bedroom is too warm.

Many reason's actually. You could just be hot, it could be anxiety, or even a condition where your body produces a lot of sweat. If it becomes to be a problem or you become worried about it, I suggest seeing a doctor. You doctor can give you an answer based on you and whats going on with you. You can try sleeping with fans, or getting sheets that cool you down as well. But my main suggestion would be see a doctor if you are worried considering it can be so many things. And I have no way of knowing that.

It's normal to sweat during the night if the room or your bedding is making you too hot. Other reasons sweating in the night occurs could also be due to:
Drinking before bedtime
Your stress level
The medications you're taking
You're going through menopause (or you're about to)
You have a sweating disorder
You have an underlying medical issue
Hope this helped.

If you wake up sweating, it could be because you had a stressful dream/nightmare. It could be because the room is too hot, or you are using too many clothes or blankets. If the room is too cold, you may be bundling yourself up in blankets unconsciously and start sweating in your sleep. It could be a physical symptom of e.g. a hormonal imbalance such as pregnancy or menopause. Withdrawal from alcohol and drugs (including medications) can also cause excessive sweating, especially at night. Excessive sweating can be a side effect of certain medications. There is also a medical condition called hyperhidrosis which means a person suffers from excessive sweating and overactive sweat glands.

Waking up sweating can be a common occurrence especially if you are a female or somebody suffering from a past Trumatic event. Middle aged women often wake up sweating in the middle night because of a condition called menopause which is a hormonal imbalance and often requires help from a doctor. Sometimes people wake up in the middle of the night sweating because they have had a bad dream. That can often occur with a condition called post traumatic stress disorder. If you continue to wake up sweating I would definitely consider contacting a medical professional. I am so sorry that you are going through this.

There can be a wide variety of reasons for why you wake up sweating. It can honestly just be your body communicating something to you. Or it might be something else that psychological or physical. It's best to go ahead and re-evaluate any other symptoms you may be having and try to come up with a solution so that you can get better sleep at night. If you are taking showers before you go to bed or at night, I highly recommend changing that to mornings that way you can feel refreshed and be clean for the day. You can always consult a professional health provider if it get's to that point where it is super hard to deal with.
