Q Night sweats keep disrupting my sleep. What can I do to manage this at home?
A The basics are keeping the bedroom cool, using breathable, well-ventilated bedding, and cutting back on evening alcohol, caffeine, and spicy food. Staying properly hydrated and keeping a regular sleep rhythm reduces sweating and improves sleep quality.
Detailed Answer
The basics of managing night sweats are your sleeping environment and evening habits. Keep the bedroom temperature cool, use breathable sleepwear and bedding that absorb sweat well, and keep a spare set nearby to change into if you get soaked. In the evening, avoid alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, and overeating, and relax before bed to release tension. Replenish fluids lost through sweating appropriately, and keep a regular bedtime and wake time.
