A member asked:

What does it mean if i wake up in the middle of the night sweating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities : Sweating during sleep can be caused by a variety of underlying things, such as menopause, diabetes, thyroid issues, and various types of infections - so you should see your doctor and make sure that you don't have an underlying cause.
