If you’re waking up covered in sweat and it’s not because there’s a heatwave outside or you're buried under heavy bed linens, then it could be that you’re experiencing night sweats. A study of over 2,000 adult patients found that 41% of them reported night sweats.
Whilst night sweats are fairly common, there are some occasions where persistent or excessive sweating at night can be a symptom of underlying health conditions — particularly menopause.
