While heat can be a majorsource of discomfort when trying to sleep, experts caution that we shouldn’t ignore night sweats, especially if they last for a long time.

Sleep expert Andrea Strand said night sweats can be caused by the environment or underlying medical issues.

She explained that the ideal temperature for a nap should be between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. But for some people, that’s not always possible, and according to Strand, investing in a super-cooling mattress or switching to a lighter mattress can help eliminate the problem.

Before assuming you have a serious health problem, Andrea, who works with Everynight.com, said you should avoid eating large meals two to three hours before bed, “This means that your digestive system will not work after you fall asleep, allowing your body to rest more. Avoiding spicy and caffeinated foods at night can be a great way to beat night sweats.”

“Caffeine is a stimulant and can increase the heart rate, leading to high blood pressure that can activate the sweat glands,” Strand said.

She explained that stress and anxiety can also cause night sweats and that doing activities such as yoga and meditation before bed can help.

“If you’ve tried these tips and your night sweats persist and you start to feel tired during the day from lack of sleep, it may be time to see a doctor. This is because night sweats can actually be caused by a number of diseases,” Strand added.
