My husband woke up last night and the sheets were soaked. It's no wonder he has had a cold for 3 weeks and it just went away. It's normal for him to start sweating about 10 mins after falling asleep,but NOT this profusely and this was after 5 hours of sleep. The sheets were wet enough that it woke me up and I had to get out of the bed. Then it woke him up and he was starting to think something is really wrong with him. Has anyone ever heard of this? If it were at all normal sweating, I wouldn't be posting this, but it's pretty bad. Has anyone known anyone with this?

My boyfriend did this a few weeks ago when he was sick. If it continues happening I would talk to a doctor about it but if it only happened once then maybe it was just a short fever to kill off the rest of those cold germs or something? Hope everything is okay |

I agree with Frannie, I think yhou should have him checked out by a doctor. It is probably not a big deal but the peace of mind would be worth it. Laura

Definitely go to the doctor. It could be a hormone imbalance. (Somehow we seem to reserve those types of things for women!) Good luck!

Well, I just searched for sweating in sleep and there was a few things we feel it could be, the biggest possiblity was diabetes. I have to get some blood work done b/c I think my antidepressant is causing me to bruise very easily, so I will try to kidnap him and take him to get work done too. He smokes, and occasiionally drinks, like when we go out, so he is really worried. It has happened three nights in a row now, and I changed from a polyester bedspread and sheets to all cotton bedding, and no help at all. He said he woke up with his teeth chattering lastnight, but not because he was cold. He didn't know why. But something is really wrong. If you hear of anything, let me know. |

My hubby had sweats in the night when he had a kidney stone. When he had it removed, the sweats stopped.
Make sure he keeps hydrated with a lot of water as you try to figure this out. Hope it is something easily treated.
Peace |

His dad has kindey stones from time to time, and I know Josh doesnt drink enough water, and I'm sure drinking 2 or 3 beers a night does't help. Was he sweating bad enough to need to change the sheets or his clothes??? |

Yes. Not the sheets, but definitely his t-shirt. And I changed the sheets more oftenin general. The alcohol also can cause sweats, but it would take more than 2 or 3 I think. Maybe he could stop them for a few nights, drink lots of water and see if it gets better.

That is a symptom of diabetes - that's what happened with my husband, but he didn't explain things too well with the doctor(we weren't married at the time), he just told the doc that he was going to the bathroom often at night, so the doc put him on some prostrate meds and let it go - didn't even do any testing! So he had diabetes for years before finally gettiing it diagnosed. Get him to the doctor to find out - nothings worse than not knowing whats wrong (especially when its out of the ordinary) and early detection of anything is better for curing something, rather than waiting. I'm lucky my husband will listen to me when I feel strongly about something, not all of us are lucky, some men just wait and wait thinking it will just go away. I hope yours will listen to your concerns and will do it for no other reason than to please or humor you. Prayers heading your way. |
