At Gaya Wellness, we know night sweats are more than an inconvenience. They disrupt your sleep, zap your energy, and make you feel like your bedroom has turned into a tropical rainforest. The good news? With the right care, you don’t have to keep losing sleep (and sanity) to hormonal heat waves.
Night sweats are episodes of excessive sweating during sleep that soak your pajamas and sheets. They’re not just about room temperature—if you’re waking up drenched, even in a cool environment, your body’s internal thermostat is the culprit.
For women, night sweats are often linked to hormonal changes—especially during perimenopause and menopause—but they can also be triggered by other health issues, medications, or stress.
Several factors can influence why you’re overheating at night:
Declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause throws off your body’s temperature regulation.
High stress levels can intensify night sweats.
Alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and poor sleep hygiene can turn up the heat.
Some antidepressants or other prescriptions list night sweats as a side effect.
Thyroid disorders, infections, or blood sugar imbalances can contribute.
Night sweats aren’t just uncomfortable—they affect your entire quality of life. Symptoms may include:
Waking up soaked in sweat (and sometimes needing to change clothes or sheets).
Interrupted, restless sleep.
Chills or shivering after sweating stops.
Fatigue and grogginess from poor rest.
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety linked to sleep disruption.
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating the next day.
When night sweats are frequent, they don’t just rob you of rest—they can chip away at your mood, focus, and daily energy.
At Gaya Wellness, we don’t tell you to “just get used to it.” We investigate what’s driving your night sweats and design a plan that actually helps you cool down and sleep better.
Night sweats are common, but they’re not something you have to just “deal with.” They disrupt your rest, drain your energy, and throw off your mood—but with the right support, they can be managed.
At Gaya Wellness, we bring science, compassion, and a little sass to your care. We’ll uncover the root cause of your night sweats, guide you toward balance, and help you finally get the deep, restorative sleep you deserve.Because your nights should be about rest—not wrestling sweaty sheets.
