Answer 1

That sounds to me like anxiety or stress - are you worried about something in your waking life? You need to relax more and speak to your doctor about it if possible...at the very least, they may be able to help you with a herbal sleeping pill.

Answer 2

According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will do sometimes strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream. Adrenaline is one sure way to do this. Waking you up, or making you have a hot flash, or nightmares and stuff, can cause an adrenaline spurt and could mean you are having a low blood sugar episode in the middle of the night.

Suggestion? About 30 minutes before you go to bed, eat some protein, meat, tuna (salmon is better) or whatever you have. Also have some carbohydrate, like a handful of chips, an apple, or some carrots/celery, and also some nuts or peanut butter. Eat at least 2 ounces of the protein. Then drink a glass of water and do something relaxing, then go to bed. This should help level your blood sugar out for a restful, non-sweaty, non-fearful night.

Chronic low blood sugar can also cause self-esteem problems, anger management problems and a whole bunch of other physical and mental nasties. You may want to check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see how you check out.

the same thing happens to me, I have anxiety disorder...I get panic attacks. The thing with Anxiety disorder is your anxious for no apparent reason, that's why its a disorder. It stems back to stress can even include good stuff like getting married, buying a house, pregnant etc; but you get attacks at the weirdest times when you feel fine or sleeping. Depression, OCD (over compulsive disorder), and anxiety disorder all link together so if you are depressed it could be a reason for them. Overall the talking to a therapist to get to the reason may help you resolve your issues but in the meantime you should see your doctor and you will probably be put on medication. I am on medication but it still happens just not nearly as much.

Answer 4

You may need to speak to a doctor about night terrors, there is probably a really good underlying reason that stems back to childhood.
If its only happening in one place (i.e. your normal bedroom but no other house you stay over at), you may have a spook? No, not crazy just I've seen things and they do exist!

Answer 5

It sounds like anxiety or panic attacks, is there something playing on your mind or have you been through stressful time?

Answer 6

Get yourself a boyfriend and you'll still be hot and sweaty and sleeping with the light on (wink,wink) but it will take your mind off your fears!! xx

Answer 7

Answer 8

Anxiety "panic attacks" talk to a doctor.

Answer 9

maybe you are worried about something or stressed. the reason you are sweaty is cause your sub concious mind maybe worried about something so it is disrupting you making you nervous- therefore making you hot and sweaty.
