Need evaluation: Soaking night sweats are not normal. Without knowing other information it is impossible to even begin to speculate on what may be going on, but you need to see a physician who will take a detailed history and perform a thorough physical exam.

Air circulation : You may try reducing the temperature in your bedroom, reduce the amount of covers and use a fan to improve air circulation. If that doesn't work it would be time to see a doctor. Wish you good health.
