The rate of metabolism in our generally drops after we are asleep. How perspiration during sleep is explained?

Answer 1

It's hot?

Answer 2

To start with , sleep causes only a 15 per cent reduction of our metabolism than the wakefulness.
Regardless of our activities that we undertake, our body maintains an optimal temperature to regulate the cell function. During sleep, you may sweat due to a hot/warm nights or even it could result from the cloth that you wear during sleep. However, there are reasons such as underlying infection like TB can cause night sweating and also anxiety disorders and dreadfull dreams may also cause you to sweat a lot.
We may not often appreciate these insensible loss during sleep that may occur through sweating and respiration. But, it occurs constantly in order to regulate the optimal temperature hence to help with the cell function.
Hope, this helps.

Answer 3

Just because we are asleep, it doesn't mean that all other body functions cease. The brain still functions, the heart is still beating. and we are still breathing. The hypothalamus center in our brains is responsible for almost all of the autonomic nervous system which includes the maintenance of vital signs.including the respiratory center. The hypothalamus is also the basal body tmperature regulating center. In other words, when we are hot;or have fevers; to avoid overheating, the body perspire or sweat via sweat glands in our skin. in order to cool off.



Sleep hyperhidrosis is extreme sweating during sleeps at night. Sometimes night sweats are related to primary hyperhidrosis (people that are prone to extreme hyperhidrosis night or day), but it can be a distinct problem due to a medical condition. There a several possible causes, including menopause for women, febrile illness, sleep disorders like sleep apnea. In very rare cases doctors might even consider more severe disorders like tumors, hyperthyroidism or other medical disorders.


The treatment will try to consider the underlying causes of the hyperhidrosis

Other possible causes of night sweating while asleep would be ::

1) sleep restlessness and movements
2) sleep apnea
3) hot flashes and sweating of menopause
4) bad dreams or nightmares
5) illnesses such as Tuberculosis exhibit night sweats.
6) being overdressed
7) hot humid summer nights



Sleep Hyperhidrosis can be due to a variety of underlying disorders, such as:


1) febrile (feverish) illness
2) Diabetes insipidus (the chronic excretion of large amounts of pale urine, acompanied by extreme thirst)
3) Hyperthyroidism (A disorder in which the thyroid is over-active)
4) Pheochromocytoma (secretion from usually benign cells in the brain that produces excessive sweating as one of its symptoms)
5) Hypothalamic lesions
6) Epilespy
7) Cerebral and brain stem strokes
8) Cerebral palsy
9) Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (sudden onset migrane)
10) Spinal cord infarction (sudden insufficiency in blood supply)
10) Head injury
11) Familial dysautomia (a congenital syndrome with specific disturbances of the nervous system)
12) Can occur in pregnancy and can be produced by antipyretic medications (anti-nausea)
13) The sleep disorder, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Answer 4

yes it drops but it does not mean it stops body should maintain its temperature even when u r asleep so our brain releases chemical mediators(which activate diff receptors). which maintain temp by perspiration
