No. If you're having night sweats and you're not menopausal, you need to tell your doctor to find the cause, particularly if it's coupled with weight loss, fatigue or any other general symptoms.
Good luck.

Registered Nurse: Night sweats are symptomatic of 'sleep apnoea' (interrupted breathing) - and lead to poor levels of restorative sleep.
The risk factors include obesity, smoking, alcohol and sedative use (among many).
Those who experience night sweats may have their sleep broken many times each night - yet do not reach full consciousness, so typically do not remember what has happened. Each episode involves a brief cessation of breathing (because either the tongue or overelaxed throat muscles has occluded the airway) followed by a sudden jolt to semi-wakefulness, as the body goes into recovery mode...
It is not inconceivable that cervical spondylosis has a connection to this condition....Spondylosis starts out as arthritic degeneration of the cervical spine, but is progressive, eventually affecting nerve pathways and causing upper body muscle weakness, sensory loss and other pathologies.
A further reason why spondylosis may be implicated is that the condition causes 'high tone' in the neck - ie the muscles are often taut, in support of an ailing bone structure. In sleep, those same muscles (in the neck and throat) may therefore 'relax' more thoroughly...
It helps a little if you are well 'propped up' with pillows and do not lie flat....And it is important to tell your GP - who may decide to utilise monitoring equipment, to determine the fact /extent of the problem and to consider whether active treatment is necessary.
Best Wishes...

If Excessive sweating is your problem you'll find here vert good tips: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org
About 2% to 3% of the general population experience excessive sweating a condition called hyperhidrosis which can occur with or without a trigger. The most common type is called primary (or focal) hyperhidrosis and it has no known cause, although it seems to run in families. You may have a different type of excessive sweating called secondary (or generalized) hyperhidrosis.
This means that your symptoms may be due to an underlying medical condition or disease (e.g., nerve damage or a hormone disorder), or due to a side effect of a medication you are taking. Talk to your doctor.
Cheers.

im only 18 but i get sometimes the same thing. My mother is 36 and she has the same thing, she says its a family thing where we sweat alot, even in the perfectly normal weather, or even cold weather, no blankets or with blankets. But I read that your temperature goes up while you sleep , and that it makes some people sweat thats why they unintentionally throw the blankets off. Im not quite sure what to do about it , and thats my only suggestion on why it happens. Since your 28 , your not old but your not my age neither so maybe it can bean age thing you should google it see what other posts have or search on a womens health site. :D Im gonna check this post to see if anyone has any good answers cause Id love to know what to do as well.

Spondylitis is where the discs between the bones of the spinal cord lose their elasticity and become hard and brittle and can even crumble away. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor first and then enrol on a Ashtanga Yoga course afterwards.
The night sweats are probably caused by a Hormone inbalance and either a qualified Herbalist or your GP can help there.

Yes this is one of many causes of "night sweats".
Any injury to the neck will give many different symptoms but spondylitis is usually very painful at all times.

If you are not in meno pause and you are having night sweats you really need to see the doctor...
If you have been coughing at all it is a possibility that you MAY have TB.
