Why do you sweat when you sleep at night

The first reason is physiological night sweats. Generally, children often have this kind of sweating. This is because children's capillaries are very rich, their skin is delicate, and their water content is more. While their metabolism is strong, they have unsound autonomic nerve regulation function. Therefore, children are easy to sweat when they are active. If they are active before going to bed, their metabolism will be more active, resulting in increased heat. When they are asleep, their sweat glands will secrete more sweat, which is conducive to heat dissipation. In addition, if the child eats before going to bed, the secretion of gastric juice will also increase, causing a corresponding increase in sweat gland secretion, making the child sweat a lot during sleep, especially in the first two hours of sleep. In addition, when the human body is sleeping, the indoor temperature is too high, the quilt is too thick, these environmental factors will cause physiological sleep sweating.

Second, pathological night sweats, after sleep, if the time of sweating is more than midnight, it is generally caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium will increase the excitability of sympathetic nerve, increase the secretion of sweat glands, such sleep sweating phenomenon is more common in rickets patients. If there is tuberculosis patients sleep sweating, often all night sweating, and accompanied by ultra red complexion, loss of appetite, emotional ups and downs and other symptoms. Many diseases that affect the body's thermoregulatory center and make sympathetic nerves excited can cause pathological sleep sweating.

Third, sweating caused by climate factors, such as hot weather in summer, high temperature leading to body sweating, we can not worry about this situation, we can properly use air conditioning, or fans to cool down.
