Night Sweats
Night sweats are defined as having several, frequent episodes of heavy sweating while sleeping. This type of sweating would be severe enough to be able to soak through clothes and even bedding.
Hormone changes associated with reproductive hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone can disrupt our bodies’ homeostasis, which can affect body temperature. These sudden spikes in body temperature result in “flashes”, as an effort to cool the body down. These flashes are seen in both hot flashes and night sweats.
