When you suffer from night sweats, you experience sudden, profuse episodes of perspiration during the night. These "nocturnal hot flashes" can be so intense that they soak sheets, comforters and nightwear.
Understanding night sweats
Night sweats are a real challenge for many menopausal women, disrupting their sleep and quality of life.
According to studies, around two-thirds of menopausal women experience these hot flushes and night sweats. These episodes of night sweats can last for some time, causing sudden awakenings and impacting sleep quality.
Duration and frequency of night sweats
Night sweats begin with an increase in heart rate, followed by a sudden rise in heat throughout the body, accompanied by excessive sweating and mild chills.
These unpleasant episodes disrupt sleep, leading to irritability and stress. The onset of night sweats varies from woman to woman. Some experience them as early as the onset of menopauseor even in pre-menopausewhile others experience them only temporarily. The frequency of episodes also varies, from once a day to several times a day.
Why are women affected by these symptoms?
These episodes of night sweats are mainly due to hormonal fluctuations. The gradual decline in estrogen levels disrupts the brain's temperature-regulating center. In response, the body releases adrenaline, which accelerates the heart rate, dilates blood vessels in the skin and induces sweating to lower body temperature.
