Sweating at night is a common complaint in the sleep clinic. While night sweats are often thought of as being the exclusive domain of post-menopausal women, their causes can be surprisingly varied. In this episode we will:

  • Review the epidemiology of night sweats
  • List the cause both benign and more concerning
  • Discuss how night sweats specifically impact sleep quality and architecture
  • Review interventions to help with the problem
