Though these interruptions last from a few seconds to a minute, they can disrupt your sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Night sweats in people with sleep apnea are a lesser-known side effect than snoring. But it is still a significant symptom of a <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/sleep-disorders\/\">sleep disorder<\/a> that needs treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The interrupted breathing of obstructive sleep apnea stresses the body as it affects oxygen levels. It triggers a fight or flight response which releases stress hormones that increase heart rate and body temperature leading to night sweats.<\/p>\n<p>Other than night sweats, <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/do-you-have-sleep-apnea\/\">sleep apnea is<\/a> associated with loud snoring, daytime fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, and morning headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Central sleep apnea may also trigger night sweats in men. The difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/obstructive-and-central-sleep-apnea\/\">central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea<\/a> lies in why sleep-disordered breathing occurs. Central sleep apnea is when the brain fails to send signals to the muscles that control breathing, while obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by physical blockage or collapse of the airway during sleep.<\/p>\n<h3>Medication<\/h3>\n<p>Some medications can cause excessive sweating and can be a reason for night sweats.

Here are some tips to help you manage night sweating.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Medical Checkup:<\/strong> The first step is to figure out what\u2019s causing night sweats. It is best to see your healthcare professional as the very first step for diagnosis and treatment. You should also get your current medicines checked to know if night sweating is a side effect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Your Room Cool:<\/strong> It is advised to <a href=\"https:\/\/amerisleep.com\/blog\/how-to-cool-down-a-room\/\">keep your room cool<\/a> at a low temperature. Consider using a fan or air conditioner to regulate room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose the Right Bedding:<\/strong> Opting for lightweight, moisture-wicking sheets and sleepwear is a wise choice here. It will help absorb sweat and keep you dry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Stimulants:<\/strong> Caffeine and spicy foods at dinner or close to bedtime can interfere with the thermoregulation process of your body and exacerbate night sweats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain a Healthy Weight:<\/strong> In some people, exercise may be a cause of night sweats.
