Do you have a problem of sweating while sleeping? You really should understand what it is before you go and find any proper form of treatment for it. You could be quite surprised at how very common sweating while sleeping actually is. The majority of these cases tend to be temporary, not like some of the other sweating problems, and so there is a very high chance that you may be able to get rid of the problem, if you treat it properly.
Your Sweating While Sleeping
Sweating while sleeping causes will vary, and quite often will depend, funilly-enough, on the age of the sufferer -
* if an infant, then the odds are they are sweating when sleeping simply because the temperature of the room is probably too hot;
* children who are quite young, babies and toddlers, will probably not be able to let you know when they feel uncomfortable or too hot, so you may not know they are sweating till you see it.
One very common reason for your children sweating tends to be because they are sick, they could have a fever which is causing their sweating. Please, you need to be aware that any fevers in infants have the potential to be extremely dangerous, even deadly. So, anytime your baby is sweating, either day or night, you need to make sure that you check their temperature, that is an immediate indicator so you can check if they have a fever or not.
In your older children, even your troublesome teenagers, they do have the ability to talk to you and let you know when they are too warm, too hot, and so this is not often the case for their sweating while sleeping. Sometimes, puberty will be to blame for your teen's night sweats, and this will start from about the age of twelve and may go through to the age of eighteen. Unfortunately, there is no specific time-frame, and you will see that it does vary from child to child.
There is precious little that you can to do when this happens to your teen, but isn't it comforting to know that puberty is just a phase they all tend to go through and their the night sweats will eventually abate as they grow through their puberty.
Although, in adults, night sweating could tend to be a timely signal of perhaps something a little more serious, a little more sinister, than what puberty sweating is. Serious conditions such as cancer for instance. Some cancers, especially cancers affecting the blood, like leukemia, can be identified by symptoms as fevers and night sweats.
Night sweats can also be a signal for women of menopause, however though, with menopause sweating, the sweating usually occurs during the day as well, and not only at night.
Should you be unfortunate enough to suffer from night sweats, you may want to try some simple techniques to aide you, things such as -
* keep a fan operating by the foot of your bed so that it blows cooling air over you;
* perhaps get air conditioning installed in your bedroom;
* and if neither of these methods work, you need to see your doctor, get them to give you a checkup to ensure that there is nothing more seriously wrong with you.
