Night sweats: Night usually mean fever, with the fever breaking (rapid drop in temperature) during the night. They often are a sign of a systemic infection or other serious health problem, like tuberculosis and many other possiblities. You need to see a doctor. Get a thermometer, take your temperature 3-4 times daily (including bedtime and when you awake sweating) and bring the records to your doctor appt.

Need more info: If you have not lost weight, it may be due to high temperature in your bedroom. Lower the temperature, reduce the amount of cover and have a fan running in your bedroom. If you have lost weight, see your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
