Sweating while you sleep (cure)

I just dial down the temp on my thermostat and let technology do its thing. But if board shorts works for you, go for it.

 

A/C and a fan works for me.

 

Sleep on top of the covers. There are also gel memory foam pillows available that are supposed to keep cool, don't know how well that works out though.

 

Fan, sleep on top of covers.

 

Using a "scooping/slapping" motion, liberally apply baby power to your crotchal region before bed. Works wonders.

 

Slapping my crotch is not my idea of a relaxing nightly pastime

 

Hey, millions of teenage boys can't be wrong!

 

I sweat a lot when I sleep. I also have horrible nightmares every night. Fairly used to it by now. My wife turns on the ceiling fan and pulls the cover off me after I am asleep, otherwise she wakes up soaked ( by me). I wake up freezing to death every morning.


Short siderail: You can train yourself to remember ALL of your dreams. It's actually a pretty simple and effective method to do it. I VERY, VERY highly recommend NOT doing this. Once it is done, it cannot be undone. And that is no BS.

 

we have A/C and a fan + light covers .I

I had a night sweat condition after my neck fusion two+ years ago . It has stopped and I really don't know why it started or why it stopped .


I used to remember dreams . I used to have a recurring dream where Mike Tyson was chasing me wanting to kill me . It seemed like it would go on for hours .....

 

I've been having this recently, sleeping ontop of the covers has been working for me.

The past week we've had some pretty warm weather and we are generally ill equipped to deal with hotter weather because we so rarely get it. Wish we had AC!

 

Do you pigs not rinse off before bed? Yech!

 

What does that have to do with this? A pre-bedtime shower does not negate the possibility of night-sweats.

And why are they pigs?

 

A shower before bed doesn't stop someone sweating when it's hot at night and they have no AC . . .

 

Just because they do it doesn't mean they want to.

 

Ok, here is my actual, useful answer. BUy some of these

They actually work - there are micro-polymere crystals in the fabric that when you sweat lightly expand and have increased surface area and tension, causing them to evaporate the sweat faster than any previous material. I bought some for my previous drummer(r.i.p.) who had a terrible sweating problem due to several surgeries, including a kidney transplant.

As you've found, memory foam is comfortable but it doesn't breath, so it gets hot. They make bamboo fiber mattress toppers(processed so they are just soft as heck) and those are naturally very cool over the memory foam. That's what the wife and I have on the waterbed.....nice grip to it should you still get sweaty.

 

I sometimes suffer horrible night sweats regardless of the temperature. I Googled it & learned that I have brain cancer.:scowl:

 

Hey! Stop it with your logic, Pig!

 

Yes! Yes!
