My Quest in Finding a Night Sweats Remedy

I am a 25 year old male that lives in Hawaii and for the past 2 years I have suffered from night sweats. If you are reading this then you already know the irritation and frustration this can bring about. I have done my research to see what exactly can cause this excessive sweating and for a night sweats remedy but all I find is health symptoms and diseases that cause the profuse sweating and no promising night sweats remedy that does not involve taking medication.

The only rational nights sweats remedy would be to buy a fan or air conditioning unit to lessen the heat. The humidity in Hawaii is on the high side so installing an air conditioner would be the best answer since it would cool and dehumidify my apartment to a cool 63 degrees and voila!, no more heat. Now here is where my rationality reaches a dead end. My apartment building does not allow us to install any type of ac unit whether it be the window mounted type, or the portable ac type (strict rules that make no sense). So since moving out is not an option with the price of rent sky rocketing and my family settled in, I am forced to find a different night sweats remedy.

Window-Mounted Air Conditioner

I currently own 4 fans for my 1 bedroom apartment. I have 2 ceiling fans, and 2 floor standing oscillating fans. When me and my wife sleep at night we leave the ceiling fan and one oscillating fan on high focused on the center of our bed. I sleep with my blanket off most of the time to beat the heat, however this makes my bottom half cold but from my chest up, I still feel the heat emanating from my skin enough to make me perspire. My wife sometimes feels uncomfortable when the fans are pointing at the bed because she becomes cold at night.

She is such a soldier for allowing me to sleep with the fans on but I can see that sometimes it is bothersome for her.

Another night sweats remedy I have tried is taking cold showers right before bed. This feels wonderful but the feeling subsides only a few minutes later when my body settles in and starts to make a campfire under the sheets. I have tried letting my body "wind down" before going to sleep but still I perspire just as if I were still at work. I have twice waked up in the middle of the night to take another shower to lessen the heat but this makes me lose out on a lot of needed rest. I wake up feeling tired and unmotivated to start the day. Showers can help but it is only a band-aid to the suffering.

Having almost lost my mind trying everything I could think of I resort back to the internet for help. I come across a YouTube video of a lady with an oscillating fan at the foot of her bed directing air under her sheets. At this time I am desperate and I try it that night. To my surprise IT WORKS!!. It was the best night's sleep I have had since high school. Finally a night sweats remedy that actually works. Only two things that I could find wrong, first, the fan shroud is 16" in diameter which makes it cumbersome to direct air under the sheets and second, even on the low setting the air flow was substantial and was a little distracting when trying to fall asleep.

So if you are like me and suffer and are frustrated but do not have a health problem like diabetes, cancer, HIV, alcoholism, menopause, and any other diseases that are linked to night sweats. Try putting in an air conditioner first if you are allowed that should help. If all else fails then a fan at the foot of the bed, no matter how unorthodox it sounds, will beat the heat. Even if you do suffer from those health problems I have listed above, give it a shot what do you have to lose. I hope you have found this night sweats remedy guide useful and good luck with your battle against night sweats and your own night sweats remedy
