How come my husband sweats so much during the night?

vanessab: How come my husband sweats so much during the night?
It has nothing to do with us having sex. Every morning when my husband wakes up he is drentched in sweat. The sheets are noticably wet. It’s not hot in the room at all.
He is a 28 year old healthy male. Non-smoker and very atheletic.

Will he sweat even if he has a light sheet over him? Has he had any other symptoms like weight loss, fever, itchiness, or fatigue? He might want to go see his doctor. Sometimes these kinds of things are normal, but sometimes they can be the symptoms of other diseases, e.g. lymphoma.

Answer by stg44mp44
Normal. Different individuals often have much varying comfort levels, as far has temperature and such goes. You might be comfortably warm, he might be soaking at that temp. You’ll have to figure out a compromise where you’re both comfortable.

(I like to sleep in the cold, if at all possible with an open window nearby; the wife likes it balmy but not stuffy…so yeah, compromising it is)

Some factors such as the room condition of yr room and also may due to the material of the bedding and his pajamas. I hv experienced that before my bed sheet kinda rough and i feel uncomfortable as the next day i saw my neck was full of sweat. Bt sweat is good as to cool off yr body and increase the rate of evaporation. Bt excessive sweat then……
