Why do I wake up sweating?

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!

you could maybe be having night terrors/nightmares. is this something that happens quite often? it is quite a common thing

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

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.

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.

The most obvious and likely reason is you are warm while sleeping, try using less blankets when you sleep

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

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.

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

It can be caused by bad dreams, nightmares or it can be detox or withdrawal symptom from drugs, alcohol or pills.
