im 16...the past few nights i have been sweating at night. its never happened before. we have central air and i sleep with my fan on so my room is always the coldest one in the house. i sleep under a comforter and normally a pretty thick blanket that i pull up around my neck but since ive been sweating i settled for a very thin soft blanket. last night i wore shorts and a thin tshirt and even slept on the comforter under the thin blanket i eventually needed to put my feet under the comforter but i still woke up this morning sweating... also i cant stay asleep past like 8. i will wake up at like 4 6 and 8 and eventually ill fall back asleep until 11 at the latest but never a full nights sleep. i dont know why all of a sudden this is happening. any ideas?
Additional info, added Thursday August 27 2009, 12:16 am: i am like never hot either. im normally so cold during the day and everything. but as soon as i get in bed i get so hot. could it have been my period? i just got it today and i seem to be okay while im in bed now!!!.

If all else fails, try putting a washcloth on your face that has been soaked in cold water, but also make sure to use lighter sheets and blankets, and just sleep in smaller amounts of clothes - tanks and shorts do the trick, or less if your comfortable. Lastly, check your thermostat - if it is on auto and shuts off at a certain temperature, set it to a lower one so you can be more comfortable. I've always found sleeping when its cold in my room to be the best - good luck! [ potatochip2011's advice column | Ask potatochip2011 A Question ]
