Because of what "breaks" night sweat?

Once you wake up in a cold sweat and long can not fall asleep again because of the nasty feeling of a wet sheet. Then it will be repeated - maybe the next night, maybe two ... And then again and again, and then you just care: because of what I break through the night sweat and how to get rid of it?

There can be many reasons. Among them there are also so obvious that it may seem strange, as you yourself have not guessed. Perhaps you are comfortable sleeping in the warmth, but the body can find that it is too stuffy for him in the room. In this case, increased sweating is the simplest signal that you should ventilate the room before going to bed. The habit of lying in a hot bath for the night can also turn into sweating - the body has its own "climate control", it regulates the temperature and lowers it on its own. In general, noticing that too often you have a night sweat, first of all, look for obvious reasons. Open the window before going to bed, do not wrap yourself in a too warm blanket, take a cool shower instead of a hot bath, do not exercise physically during the evening. You look - and normal "dry" sleep will be restored.

And this is not a complete list of possible diseases - it is not very important to enumerate them all, since it is not easy and even dangerous to diagnose them yourself. Therefore, it is better and more reliable to consult a doctor - he should take seriously the report of an unreasonable regular night sweats.

What mother does not frighten the child's cold sweat ?! However, this is not always a cause for concern.

After all, children are in a constant movement, and therefore their body is always hotter than an adult. Wear a child in the weather, make sure that by evening he is not overexcited, did not see any "fears" on TV. But if the sweating does not go away, you need, of course, to tell this to the pediatrician.
