Why does my son sweat when he sleeps?

Question

He's 2. House temp is about 70, he doesn't like blankets. Sleeps in a t-shirt or in middle of the night he will pull that off and sleep in nothing but his diaper. Wakes up and his hair and back are soaked and I have to change and wash his sheets each time. he has several changes of sheets because of this. I turn his ceiling fan on. He sometimes wakes in the middle of the night because he gets too hot. Is there a way to make him more comfortable?

Neither I nor his dad does.

Answer 1

Some toddlers sweat buckets while they're in the deepest part of their nightly sleep cycle, often ending up soaking wet. While sweating can occasionally be a symptom of sleep apnea — a serious sleep disorder in which the upper airway passages are blocked repeatedly during the night, making it difficult for your toddler to breathe — usually nighttime perspiration is nothing to worry about.

What you can do about it
Deep sleep is when your toddler is getting the best of what sleeping has to offer — his body is restoring itself and getting ready for a new day — so don't worry too much about his sweating. Do make sure he's comfortable, though. Put him down to sleep in light, cotton clothes and keep his room a little on the cool side.

If your toddler's perspiration is accompanied by snoring or extended pauses in his breathing (other possible symptoms of sleep apnea), time the pauses to see how long they last. Up to ten seconds is normal, and longer breaks may be, too. But to definitively rule out sleep apnea, talk to his doctor about it. She can help you decide what step to take next.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

My nephew sweats when he sleeps and not any other time. It doesn't seem to bother him it is uncomforable when your holding him and he is sweating but the doctor told my brother that everything is fine and some babys just do that. It means they are getting good sleep which is healthy.

Answer 7

It is either a lack of oxygen, maybe one of his nostrils is smaller than the other, a fast metabolism he burns up calories faster than others, too much caffiene, or he could be leaning towards diabetes if that runs in your family.

I am also pretty sure he is a winter baby, born in the latter months of the year. Hot babies tend to be born in those months.

It is nothing to worry about, but lay off the fan. It creates a draft that clogs up the nasal passages and and makes him even hotter. And cut down his sugar and caffiene. If he is burning clories rapidly they are like pouring gasoline on a fire.
As he gets older it will get better as he gets bigger and has less fat to burn.

Just keep washing the sheets until he cools down.

My son has been like that since he was a newborn. The doctors always told me it was nothing to worry about as long as he didn't have a fever or any symptoms. I would just talk to his doctor and make sure that he's alright. It's pretty common so I don't think it's anything to worry about, but we can never be to careful with the health of our children.
