Why do overheating and night sweats ruin sleep?

Hint…it is usually a sign of the body struggling to regulate its temperature.

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night feeling warm and slightly damp, only to kick off your covers and drift back to sleep? I’ve been there if your nights are consistently interrupted by soaked pajamas and bedding.

Let’s examine some potential causes of overheating and night sweats and consider how Antipodean Home's organic regenerative wool comforters can help you sleep better and sweat-free.

What’s Causing Your Night Sweats?

Hormonal Rollercoasters

Hormonal changes, especially during menopause or andropause, can wreak havoc on your sleep. When estrogen levels drop in women and testosterone in men, your body’s temperature control can go haywire, leading to those dreaded night sweats.

Medication Side Effects

Some medications, like antidepressants, hormone therapy drugs, and even over-the-counter fever reducers, can have side effects that include overheating and night sweats. If you think your meds are to blame, it’s worth a chat with your doctor about other options.

Sneaky Infections

Certain infections, like tuberculosis or flu, can cause night sweats. Bacterial infections such as endocarditis (heart valve inflammation) and osteomyelitis (bone infections) are also culprits.

Sleep Disorders

Conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can trigger night sweats. OSA interrupts breathing during sleep, ramping up the body’s effort to breathe and, in turn, causing overheating and night sweats.

Stress and Anxiety

High stress and anxiety levels can activate your body’s “fight or flight” response, boosting your heart rate and blood pressure and causing overheating and night sweats. If you’re frequently anxious or stressed, this might be contributing to your night sweats.

How to Keep Cool and Sleep Better

Cool Down Your Bedroom

I always ensure that my sleeping space is cool and breezy. Using a fan or air conditioning and opting for blackout curtains help maintain a dark, cool environment.

Choose Breathable Sleepwear

I choose lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics. Natural fibers like cotton or bamboo allow my skin to breathe and help keep me dry.

Stay Hydrated

I drink plenty of water during the day. Dehydration can worsen night sweats, so I keep my fluid intake up.

Relax and Unwind

Incorporating relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga into my routine helps reduce stress and improve my sleep quality.
