Sometimes I wake up sweating when I have a cold or the flue. To avoid waking up sweating, I try to keep my room cool, and put the temperature down at night.

There could be more possibilities: maybe your room it's too hot even at around 6 am (when the temperature is defenitely lower), in this case try to sleep keeping the door or the window open, or refrigerate your room before sleeping with the a.c. . Another reason is because your body is too hot: this could happens because of the sheets, your pygiama, or your dreams. Try to sleep in cotton sheets and cotton pygiamas, and not to eat too much before sleeping, or watching horror movies. Bu if the situations continues please call your doctor.

Sometimes, I wake up sweating because of what was happening when I was asleep. There are times that when I am asleep, my brain thinks I'm participating in strenuous, exhausting activities. If I were doing these activities in real life, I'd be sweating. Since a part of my brain thinks I am doing this, sometimes the brain doesn't know how to distinguish whether or not I am actually going through the event. Thus, it gives me the reaction it would if I were to partake in the even.

It could be many things. It's possible that it is a physiological response to a subconscious dream that you do not remember, it could be a symptom of an underlying illness, either physical or mental, your body temperature may run a few degrees warmer than other people, or it may just be too warm in your room.

Waking up sweating can mean that your body has undergone a certain type of stress, whether positive or negative, during sleep.

* Menopause or Andropause. Menopause in women is the most common cause of night sweats. However, some men also suffer from night sweats during the male menopause, or andropause. * HIV, tuberculosis. In fact, any infectious disease or condition that brings on a fever can cause night sweats. * Diabetes. Diabetes can also cause night sweats. * Sleep apnea. This is the one that most concerns us. Night sweats can also be a sign of sleep apnea. If you also suffer from severe snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness, it might be time for a study. * Alcohol, some drugs, spicy foods. Consumption of any of these can cause night sweats. And by drugs, I’m not necessarily referring to street drugs. Some prescription drugs, like Zoloft, can also cause night sweats.

You may have too many blankets on, or you may not be drinking enough water. Maybe you need to change your pillowcase, that can be an issue.

Waking up sweating could be the result of a nightmare, perhaps a very intense dream or maybe it was just the fault of a hot room temperature.

It could be dehydration or that you are very stressed in your sleep. Try listening to relaxing music
