About Night Sweats, Menopause and Hot Flashes
REASONS FOR NIGHTSWEATS
There are many reasons for night sweats to include pregnancy, certain medications, thyroid conditions, diabetes, obesity, chemotherapy, sleep apnea and anxiety; however, the most common reason for women over the age of forty seems to be the onset of menopause. During menopause women experience hormonal changes which can cause hot flashes and night sweats.
Men can also experience night sweats due to hormonal changes called Andropuase. The good news is that certain lifestyle changes can reduce the severity of night sweats regardless of the reason.
TIPS TO EASE NIGHT SWEATS
Be consistent with the time your retire each night
Get at least eight hours of sleep

If night sweats do strike, get up, go to the bathroom and drink a tall glass of water.
Keep a glass of cool water on your night stand.
Avoid spicy foods near bedtime
Cut caffeine before bedtime because it is can trigger night sweats by raising heart rate and blood pressure

Keep your bedroom at a cool temperature or sleep with an open window to increase air circulation.
Change your sheets often so that you feel fresh and clean when you get into bed.
Take a cool shower or cool bath before bedtime.
Avoid hot tubs and jacuzzi's before bedtime.
