Need more info: Could be a lot of things. Are you on any meds that could be causing this? Do you have low testosterone? Are you ill? How long has this been a problem? You should really discuss this with your doctor. I think you'll find they are interested in the same kind of information.

My body puts off lots of heat. It makes it uncomfortable to hold my wifes hand. To lay next to her at night is out of the question. I wake up at night within the first 2 hours of sleep drenched in sweat no matter the temperature even using a fan.
