I guess your Room is too hot, maybe sleep with thinner blankets and open window whilst sleeping

Are you on any medication? Do you sometimes drink before bedtime? Many things can cause excessive sweating - see your doctor if it doesn't seem to go away.

Aww, you're a lost little girl! pssh...yeah right. You were having a wet dream. And your head's sweating because you're exhausted and unconsciencely excited.

It's not. You are probably sleeping with your mouth open and you are drooling onto your pillow. Typically this means that you are not getting enough air through your nose to sleep with your mouth shut, so instinctively, you open your mouth to get more air. You might want to see an ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) doctor to determine if there is anything that can be done to help.

Im thinking, depending on your age.... these may be flashes that pass during the night. My mom has those really bad every now and again,she started very early. Is it that time?

By description, sounds like a wet dream.

What kind of pillow do you sleep on? When I first changed from a feather pillow to a down pillow, I had the same issue. Then it dawned on me that winter clothing is made with down. It's a natural for keeping warm. I solved the problem by having a very slow fan on all night.

Take of pj's and lighten your covers. You may just run a higher temp at night and sweat.

Occasionally my head sweats while I am sleeping and I wake up with a wet pillow, although to be fair to myself, this is due to medication.

Sleep hyperhidrosis, more commonly known as the night sweats, is the occurrence of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) during sleep. The sufferer may or may not also suffer from excessive perspiration while awake. Sleep hyperhidrosis may occur at any age, but is most commonly seen in early adulthood. Night sweats may occur for genetic reasons and may be relatively harmless. However, they can be distressing and disrupt sleep patterns if severe; the patient may be frequently awakened due to the discomfort of damp sleepwear. One of the most common causes of night sweats in women over 40 is the hormonal changes related to menopause and perimenopause. This is a very common occurrence during the menopause transition years and while annoying, it is not necessarily dangerous or a sign of underlying disease. Some women experience night sweats during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It should be noted that while some causes of night sweats may be relatively harmless, others may not and can be a sign of a serious underlying disease. While there can be several possible causes of excessive sweating at night, it is important to distinguish night sweats due to medical causes from those that occur simply because the sleep environment is too warm, either because the bedroom is unusually hot or because there are too many covers on the bed. A night sweat caused by a medical condition or infection can be described as ‘severe hot flashes occurring at night that can drench sleepwear and sheets, which are not related to an overheated environment’. True night sweats with medical causes should be properly investigated by a physician. There are many ways to help relieve night sweats. By keeping a cool glass of water on the night stand and wearing moisture absorbing pajamas, many people suffering from night sweats have found relief. Night sweats are not as disturbing for the patient as other forms but because undisturbed sleep is so important to our body, it can have a significant impact on our health - no on like to wake up to wet sheets, especially in the cold! There are 2-4 million sweat glands that are used by our nervous system to cool off the body and keep it within a constant and acceptable temperature. When the sweating process exceeds its normal production, such as night sweats, we are dealing with the phenomenon called hyperhidrosis. The condition is acknowledged when the production of sweat by the axillary glands exceeds 100 mg in an interval of five minutes. The hypothalamic preoptic sweat center is located in the brain and it sends commands through the brain stem and medulla to the Help others going through what you are by sharing your story (simply leave a comment).

The condition is acknowledged when the production of sweat by the axillary glands exceeds 100 mg in an interval of five minutes. The hypothalamic preoptic sweat center is located in the brain and it sends commands through the brain stem and medulla to the innervations of the sweat glands. The nerves enter the spinal cord and synapse in the anterolateral cell column of the spinal cord. Neurons then exit the spinal cord and enter the sympathetic ganglia found in the chest and from there they supply the upper limbs. A hyperactive sympathetic nervous system is believed to be responsible for hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. The deregulation of the sympathetic nervous system may occur when the individual is exposed to various distressful stimuli. Thermal stimuli may also trigger the negative effects of hyperhidrosis. The most common areas of the body where emotionally triggered excessive sweating appears are the hands, the underarms and the feet. When, during sleep, emotional stimuli are reduced, hyperhidrosis may manifest itself through thermal sweating. Symptoms of Night Sweats * Damp and clammy bedding. You wake up to find your bedding soaked. You either feel too hot or clammily cold. Night Sweats - Causes * Menopause or Andropause. Menopause in women is the most common cause of night sweats. However, some men also suffer from night sweats during the male menopause, or andropause. * HIV, tuberculosis. In fact, any infectious disease or condition that brings on a fever can cause night sweats. * Diabetes. Diabetes can also cause night sweats. * Sleep apnea. This is the one that most concerns us. Night sweats can also be a sign of sleep apnea. If you also suffer from severe snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness, it might be time for a study. * Alcohol, some drugs, spicy foods. Consumption of any of these can cause night sweats. And by drugs, I’m not necessarily referring to street drugs. Some prescription drugs, like Zoloft, can also cause night sweats. Treatment of Night Sweats Various anticholinergic medications have success in treating excessive sweating. A treatment with Robinul starts at 1 or 2mg one to three times a day and has good effects on excessive manifestations of hyperhidrosis. Higher doses are usually needed to help sustain a favorable environment for a successful treatment. Excessive Sweating Medications The side effects that appear with an increase in dosage are to be considered. Hyperhidrosis medications, especially when used intensively, produce mouth dryness, also known as cotton mouth. Other patients suffer from side effects such as blurry vision, constipation or urinary retention. Reflex tachycardia and moderate memory impairment were also signaled with some patients undergoing medication treatment for hyperhidrosis. Another medication used in the treatment of excessive sweating is Propranolol, a beta-blocker that has both sympathetic and generalized activity. It mostly targets stress induced hyperhidorsis and is successful in eliminating most of the negative effects of the condition. Side effects are considerable and include a slow heart rate and a low blood pressure. As a consequence of the two side effects mentioned before, the patients also accuse a continuous state of tiredness and apathy. Anticholinergic medications such as Propentheline Bromide (Probanthine) and Oxybutynin (Ditropan) are also used in the treatment process. They are used orally and have been known to improve the excessive sweating process, reducing the sweat amount. Anticholinergic drugs are not suitable for targeted local use, as the skin does not absorb them properly. Botox to Control Sweating Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is sometimes used to treat night sweating. It is injected into the skin and it acts as a temporary blockage for the sympathetic nerves that stimulate the excessive sweat production. This type of medication works well on local areas, where it is injected. When applied in 15 or 20 locations in the under arm area, Botox is usually effective; noticeable decreases in the sweat levels are observed after the injections. The downside of this treatment method is that it needs to be repeated every 3 or 4 months for facial treatment and up to 12 months for other areas. The high cost of the Botox injections may prove to be a difficult obstacle to remove for a patient. The repeated usage of this treatment is expensive and the cure itself is temporary, not final. Another deterrent has been the pain that is associated to the Botox injections. Before your receive treatments, you should first ask your doctor exactly what steps they take during the process. Most experienced doctors will apply topical numbing creams before the treatment which greatly reduces any pain. You should also look for doctors who perform a starch-iodine test to map out the sweat glands prior to treatment. Don’t ask these questions directly, but rather look for them in the response to your questions. If during the consultation you don’t hear these or similar answers, then ask them directly and make your evaluation. Many patients suffering from Night Sweats have been very happy with the results of this treatment. Apart from axillary hyperhidrosis, Botox is also used to treat facial sweating and palmar excessive sweating. Many patients, who wish to avoid the pain of receiving the injection, do not accept treating the face and hands with Botox injections. Temporary paralysis of the hand muscles was observed in some cases, but this is not a frequent side effect. of the sweat glands.

I would guess hormonal fluctuations, even if you are not near the age of when menopause normally occurs. I have gotten hot flushes/flashes and I am 25. Medication, bad dream you don't remember, other than that I am not sure.

Don't feel alone in this because I'm experiencing the same thing, too. If you're in your early 30's you could be experiencing perimenopause, and this can occur several years before you reach menopause, which usually occurs in your 40's. I know that sounds pretty young to start, but it's very common in a lot of women. The Symptoms of Peri-Menopause Hot flashes, night sweats,coldness, irregular periods that can be heavy, light, shorter or longer cycles Difficulty sleeping either getting to sleep or staying asleep Mood changes, anxiety, depression, irritability Heart palpitations (if you experience any heart disturbances, always consult a physician) Dry skin and/or hair loss Loss of or decreased sexual desire Vaginal dryness Incontinence There are many other symptoms that women may experience during the pre-menopause years. Sometimes the symptoms of menopause can be mimicked by other conditions--commonly thyroid disorders--so it's important anytime you experience changes that are different for you that you consult your physician.

It MIGHT be just the weather ; BUT to make sure , try getting a blood pannel done to test for Diabetes etc ... a "Possability" ... Your doctor will know more ...

Could be excessive drooling too... Which is really gross
