night sweats

Posted by kavo on January 23, 1998 at 18:55:03:

I am trying to find out if I have a sleeping disorder. I wake up drenched in sweat about 3-4 nights per week, sometimes more. Usually, I am a bit breathless, yet not disoriented or terrified although often I have awakened from a night mare. I have had this problem for as long as I can remember, and my mother even remembers me overheating at night as a child. I almost always sleep in light clothing, in a cool room, with a fan over me- but even then I wake up sweating & shivering. What can I do?
