What Are Night Sweats?
Night sweats are episodes of excessive sweating during sleep that can disrupt your rest and leave you feeling drained and uncomfortable. These night sweats are caused by hormonal imbalances, particularly declining estrogen and progesterone levels, which is common during menopause.
As your body goes through this natural transition, the decrease in estrogen can trigger the body’s internal thermometer to overreact, leading to these intense heat and sweating episodes during the night.
