Okay... so I know this won't affect many people. My story: I've had two back surgeries and it forces me to put a pillow between my legs, under my head, and under my arms. That's three pillows. With a very nice mattress this makes me hot and sweaty and ****ing gross and I hate it.

I've tried nude, just boxers, whatever; tried it all. If you wear a swim suit and a normal T-shirt, you will wake up dry and happy. Try it. I know *** I'm talking about. Wish I didn't.

Good luck.

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 .....

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. :D
