I've been waking up at night for the past few nights drenched in sweat. So far I've tried lowering the temperature in my room, which hasn't helped. I sleep in cotton PJs (shorts and t-shirt) and have cotton sheets. Any ideas? I'm in generally good health. I don't have any other signs of TB so I don't think it is that.

I moved within the past month and they started since I moved. I thought maybe it was because I was exercising too much, but I can't find anything about that on the internet ... ???

If you are on any kind of psych meds, for depression or anxiety or whatever, many of them have this as a side effect.

As always, you should check with your Doctor first to rule out any diseases that you may have.
Peri-menopause is something you can experience at a very early age. I started getting hot flashes and night sweats in my 30's, they would come and go, and by the time I was in my early 40's they were out of control. I used to tell people my thermostat was broken, and I suffered sleepless nights for 2 years.
Than a friend introduced me to Himilayan Goji Juice. It is the only functional juice on the market with medical validation including 34 scientifically proven benefits as well as 72 clinical studies published on pubmed.org.
I took it for less than a week, 2 oz in the morning and 2 oz at night and the night sweats disappeared! I have had deep restful sleeps, and no more headaches or heartburn!!
I just shared it with a lady in the US who also has completely eliminated her night sweats and it took her about a week as well. This product is an adaptogen which goes to work on auto-immune deficiencies and is helping people everywhere!
Contact me for more information.

How do you know you are not menopausal. I started having night sweats when I was 32 or 33 anything is possible. I sleep with the air conditioner in my room on and a fan and I still get hot.

Any other symptoms? Nights sweats are usually indicative of some low grade infection (like TB). Get a proper checkup from a doctor.

Check with your doctor and just b/c they stop don't forget to tell your doctor.
most likely it'll b a couple of days / weeks b/4 doctor can see you anyway.
make sure to have meds you've taken around this time. Also be ready with what your weight and food and liquid intake is.
Doctors (in general) will try passing the problem off on diet or food problem.
IT MIGHT SOUND STUPID BUT WRITE DOWN YOUR INS AND OUTS (DOCTOR TERMS) EATING AND CRAPPING. COLOR OF STOOLS AND COLOR OF URIN.
it might be a bug your body is fighting.

you need a TB test anyway and check up for an underlying infection which you might not know about but your body is heating up trying to fight off something. Or your metabolism might be overactive due to thyroid condition.

How old are you? You could be perimenopausal, which can come on as early as your 30s.
