Why do i sometimes wake up during the night drenched in sweat? i only use light blankets and i know it's not just overheating and it isn't a fever.

Night sweats: Although these may be to hormonal changes during adolescence it would be helpful to know when you are taking your temperature. Since sweating is one of the body's ways of lowering temps, you should be taking your temp before the onset of the sweating to see if you have a fever. This is a common occurrence in TB and in some lymphomas. See a doctor.
