My boyf sweats so much when he is asleep in bed. Its not just from his armpits, its his arms, back and even legs. If I fall asleep hugging him, i wake up with soggy pj's. I really don't get it, its like he's just got out the shower or something. He's tried sage tea and cutting back caffeine, alcohol and spicey foods but no good.
Dumping him is NOT an option people as I love him loads. Just don't want wet bedding anymore : (

Some people perspire more than others. This is a fact. Also, your bedding could have something to do with it. Are you using too many blankets? An electric blanket? A comforter? Cut back on your bed covers. Lower the temperature in the room. It is best to sleep in cooler room, anyway. Open a window part way if you can.
If these things do not help, do ask that your boyfriend see a doctor. There could be a very simple explanation and one that does NOT involve tuberculosis for pity's sakes. Whilst that is an explanation, I think you would have noticed other things wrong by now. He just may be running at a higher temp than you are!

Night Sweats tend to be part of an ongoing illness.
If he isn't ill, or if the condition has been going on for a while, I suggest seeing a Doctor.
A temporary respite may be gained from liberally using an anti-perspirant just before bed.
Or you could always make him sleep in the bath!

You are experiencing a very natural occurrence. It happens to virtually all young males. There is no "cure". If someone tells you that "saltpeter" or potassium nitrite is a cure and that it is administered in the military, don't believe it! Not true! The only possible thing that may lessen the occurrence of the wet dream would be total exhaustion before bedtime, and that will not stop it totally.

Night sweats can be a symptom of a latent tuberculosis infection. It can be confirmed or ruled out by a quick trip to see the doctor and routine lab work.

Try reducing the temperature of the room; also, men sweat more than women generally.

Hmmm, it might be to do with you and the heat that you are giving off. In the interest of science, what I'll do is let you come round and sleep in my bed. If it then happens to me, we will know it is not his fault. What do you say?

I agree with Alm. Could be that or it could be nothing to worry about. He must see a Doctor to be sure! Good luck!

dont use such a thick duvet- maybe try a comforter, crack open your bedroom window slightly- u might end up being colder but u could just wear more layers.
