What causes excessive sweating while sleeping

If you sweat a lot when sleeping, we need to consider whether it is caused by Yin deficiency, because people with Yin deficiency often sweat a lot and have symptoms such as hot and red face or dry eyes.

1. Yin deficiency

You sweat when you sleep at night and the sweat stops when you wake up. Chinese medicine calls this situation night sweats. People who suffer from night sweats have yin deficiency. People with yin deficiency often have symptoms such as irritability, redness and heat on the face, and dryness in the mouth and throat. Such friends should eat less warm foods (such as onions, garlic, and ginger) and more yin-nourishing foods (such as lilies and pears) in their daily lives.

2. The indoor temperature is too high

High indoor temperature is also a major cause of sweating at night. When you sleep at night, the indoor temperature is too high and it is easy to sweat, especially in summer. If there is no air conditioning, it is not surprising to find yourself all wet when you wake up in the morning. Friends can install air conditioning to lower the indoor temperature, but also pay attention to opening windows for ventilation.

3. Dreaming (such as nightmares)

When you sleep at night, if you have a nightmare or an exciting dream, you will sweat easily when you are nervous. This kind of dream is easy to find after waking up. Friends like this should keep a calm mind in daily life and not think too complicatedly about everything.

4. Caused by disease

Many diseases can cause sweating at night, these diseases mainly include: diabetes, tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, hypoglycemia, endocarditis, etc. The main cause is that the disease stimulates the nervous system, causing certain nerve disorders, which can easily lead to sweating at night. If night sweating is caused by a disease, it must be treated promptly.
