How to stop sweating at night - sweating at night is a very common problem for many people. I will try to address the general reason why people are sweating at night. Regardless of the reason, sweating at night is tied to one specific trigger.

This information is not tied to one specific cause for sweating but it is related to them all. - sweating at night is simply due to our inability to cool itself down. For sweating at night can be explained in a logical manner that will allow you to eliminate this sleep depriving problem. As uncomplicated as that may sound, there is more to it than that clear - cut fact. Sweating at night is the very last action that the body takes in its effort to cool down. We must understand how the body cools itself down before we can address the problem successfully. Anything past that stage becomes a health risk commonly known as heat exhaustion.

If the required coolness can not be obtained with the three main methods of cooling, the body has no choice but to sweat. - prior to sweating the body attempts to eliminate heat using three preferred methods. The three methods the body uses prior to sweating at night or sweating any time are the following in this order: Radiation. Convection. Conduction. Radiation is when you radiate heat energy like an oven, or a light bulb, You can feel the heat without touching the source. That heat that is transferred to your hand by conduction.

Conduction is the heat that you will feel when you touch the source of radiant heat. - convection is the heat that you can feel when hot air is blown upon you. That is an extreme example of convection but simple to understand. Like the heat of a hair dryer. The heat that is generated within the hair dryer is transferred to the air via convection. The heat is moved from inside the hair dryer, out to your hair using air. Thus the air is conveying the heat from the heat source inside of the dryer.

So what dose all this have to do with sweating at night? - we are attempting to eliminate sweating at night. so to accomplish this we must realize that we must cool the body before we reach the sweating stage. Lets remember that sweating is the very last phase of cooling that the body will go through prior to just shutting itself down. Radiation and condition are the two cooling methods that are normally used wile we are in bed. You are laying in your bed, that material is, surrounded by material also absorbing your body heat. Your body radiates heat and your bed absorbs that radiation.

Sweating at night happens because we reach a point in our bed where the bed is no longer able to absorb more heat. - but wait, what about the, you say third step in cooling, convection? The next step the body takes to cool itself down is sweating. You are absolutely right. Remember the description of convection, where the air moves next to the source of heat and conveys that heat away. How could we forget about convection? That is exactly what you will need to do.

And a simple fan that will blow between your sheets will cool your body and your bed at the same time, using convection will help you will remain cool and your sweating at night will be over for good.
