I am curious as to why during the night when i sleep i have excessive body heat that wakes me up and i have to take a shower or drink something cold?

Hormonal: Are your periods still quite regular? Nighttime or bedtime heat intolerance can be due to menopausal changes or overactive thyroid. Is your temperature elevated? Too hot a bedroom or too many bedclothes? Your physician can arrange the appropriate tests.
