Turn down the thermostat. A too warm room can trigger a person to have night sweats. If you have a programmable thermostat, set it to drop during the evening hours.
Use a light sheet. Heavy blankets make night sweats worse. Using a light sheet in a breathable fabric may cure the night sweats.
Take a cold shower. Cold showers taken right before bed can stop night sweats from occurring.
Speak to your doctor. Your doctor will want to determine the cause of the night sweats. Once a cause is determined, he will advise on treatment. Your doctor may change your medications or request further tests.
Let the doctor know any other symptoms that you are having. If you also have a fever and have lost weight, it can be a sign of a serious condition.
