Night sweats are commonly associated with a medical condition

Night sweats are repeated bouts of extreme sweating that may soak your sheets and are related to an underlying medical condition or illness.

Sometimes you may wake up after having sweated excessively, particularly if you are sleeping under too many blankets or if the night is too warm. Although uncomfortable, these episodes are usually not labelled as night sweats and typically aren't a sign of a medical problem.

Here are some of the causes:

• Overactive Thyroid or Hyperthyroidism is a common cause of night sweats as this conditions raises the body temperature
• Menopause or women with both ovaries removed
• Diabetes/Hypoglycaemia
• Sleep apnoea
• Acid reflux and heartburn
• Hiatus hernia
• Tuberculosis
• Infection
• Some medications
• Certain cancers and cancer therapy
• Anxiety
• Nightmares or night terrors
• Swollen lymph glands and fever
