Night sweats refer to episodes of extreme sweating during sleep. They occur when your body’s thermostat malfunctions, causing your core temperature to rise rapidly. This triggers heavy, drenching sweats that can soak through pajamas and bedsheets.
Night sweats differ from hot flashes because they occur only during sleep. They affect both women and men. Frequent or severe night sweats can disrupt sleep and cause fatigue or anxiety.
If you experience repeated night sweats, it's important to meet with your doctor to determine the underlying cause. Getting to the root of the issue is key for finding the right treatment.
