Generally speaking, it can be divided into two reasons, one is physiological night sweats, the other is pathological night sweats. What's the reason for sweating at night.

What reason is sweating at night

First: physiological night sweating, this type of sleep sweating is more common in children, because children's skin is very tender, contains more water, rich capillaries, metabolism is strong, but has not yet sound 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: after the pathological night sweats fall asleep, if the sweating time 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: keep dry, sleep sweating phenomenon, should pay attention to frequently change clothes, and often take a bath, ready to soft cloth, or use some baby powder, keep skin dry, reduce the stimulation of sweat on the skin. If you're sweating. Don't blow directly to avoid catching a cold.
