    Well, try to cut down on sugar, alcohol and sleep with a fan directly on you. rolleyes

    I know that when I drink wine or eat desert before bed I wake up on fire! I always have a fan directly on me and that helps a ton!

      Thanks Eva. Some people would say that wearing comfortable clothes can also help prevent night sweat. Like wearing pajamas or any clothes made of cotton fabric.

      Oh yes, certainly that too. I wear loose jammie bottoms and a tank top. I have to be able to cool down quick. Argh! All cotton. And light cotton sheets, no flannel.

    Hi hun

    Night sweats ( waking up sopping wet) legs slipping off each other and hot flushes in day are all part of peri menoause.

    I had night sweats in early peri and took rainforest food Maca daily in early peri.

    A good vit B complex will help no end which has 100mg B6 in it.

    Or 100mg B6 on its own

    A fan or AC helps but no clothing is best in bed
