What Can I Do To Stop My Husband Having Night Sweats????!


Question: He is in his late 20's, healthy, 5kg over weight & a good diet.

Every night for the past week he wakes up wet, and I mean wet. It is like he is having nightmares, he has REM & will occasionally move around, but when he wakes up he never remembers.

It is annoying me, because I am so sick and tired of having to wash our bedding. He is going to the doctors on the 14th, but I wonder if anyone could help in the meantime.

there must b a night sweat virus going around, lol
my hubby was like that a few weeks ago too,,, he was wrecking the sheets cos he made them stink,lol
i dont know if its the weather or a virus,,, but i havent sweat at all, just him,
xxxxxxxxxxxx its pretty common, i go through phases now and then where im sweating in bed xxxxxx
actually could your body heat b causing this?,, i know i felt hot all the time when preggers xxxxxx

he has a serious problem , i think he has to see a doctor. noone can help you in here without meeting or talking to your husband

He may be coming down with a virus.

If he's dreaming, it could be night terrors or nightmares.
My father had night terrors. Sweating is a symptom. Night terrors actually occurs in deep sleep.

Is he taking any new meds?
Is he especially anxious about something?
Has this ever happened to him before?

An anti-anxiety med may help before bedtime.

Google: mayo clinic>>diseases>>night terrors
>>nightmares.

Good luck to you both

I have no idea but my hubby occasionally gets night sweats too. So does my son.

Oh and BTW, love the new pic! You're belly is huge and cute! When are the bubs coming again?

I too know the annoyance of this - so i got a pedestal fan a put it on his side of the bed to stop me getting wet too!
