Sleep Hyperhidrosis: Sweating it Out at Night

Sleep hyperhidrosis is the term given to the condition wherein you experience profuse sweating when you sleep at night. Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, usually happens during the day, when the body is all worked out from one's daily activities. However, sleep excess sweat is a rare instance wherein you sweat during the time that your body is practically at rest. People with sleep hyperhidrosis may not experience excessive sweating during the day. The same is true for people suffering from regular hyperhidrosis - they may not have problems at night as much as they do during their waking hours.

Sleep hyperhidrosis is as inconvenient as sweating during the day. Most people suffering from this condition tend to wake up in the middle of the night all soaked up with sweat. As such, they have no choice but to get up from bed and change into a different nightwear. It is not uncommon for people suffering from this condition to be insomniac or have problems staying asleep.

Sleep hyperhidrosis may affect both children and adults, although it is most seen during one's early adulthood stages. Some people tend to suffer from it throughout their lives. But there are also a lucky few, especially the younger individuals, who eventually get rid of the problem naturally.

Sleep excessive sweating may occur chronically or due to certain reasons. Most of the time, it happens as a result of underlying conditions of the body. For example, if you are feverish when you went sleep, chances are high that you'll wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. Other medical disorders such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, epilepsy, celebral palsy, stroke, hypothalamic lesions, migraine, spinal cord infarction, head injuries, and familial dysautomia are just examples of diseases that can trigger sleep hyperhidrosis.

There are three stages of this health concern. It is a mild case if the body doesn't sweat that much in such a way you only have to remove wet pillows and blankets in order to be comfortable. It is a severe case of sleep hyperhidrosis if you get so concerned with your sweating that you have to change clothes and worse, take a bath in the middle of the night. The moderate case is somewhere in between, where you may just need to wash your face or wipe away the excessive sweat from your body.

The treatment of sleep hyperhidrosis is relatively the same as the treatment procedure for regular excessive sweating cases. The underlying causes that triggers the condition needs to be diagnosed and treated in order to address the situation.
