This thread reminded me of my grandma. She used to keep the temperature way down, even when she was in her 90's. She was not overweight. I'm pretty sure that she had OSA, since she was a very loud snorer and had other signs, too. It's kind of sad to think about this, since if treatment had been around in her day she would not have had as much suffereing as she did.

From my own personal experience, high sugar and acid reflux will also cause night sweats

When I was without treatment (pre xpap) I would be up alot and sweat too, but would not be sleeping soundly enough, so I would cover and uncover myself. So I never got too sweaty because I was aware.

Now I find, the night sweats are more intense. SOmetimes I am all covered up and snugling in the blankets and sometimes I get them and I just have a sheet on over light pj's.

I wonder if I am less aware of my body temp due to deeper sleep with OSA treatment versus non treatment?

Anyone else expereince night sweats? any ideas about it?

thanks a lot.... I don't post often, but I do read the site daily. You guys really are a great community.

"Night Sweats" can be caused by a multitude of things of which would need to be checked out by a physician. I did a search on the net and found the following:

Check them out. Believe it or not, "sleep apnea" is listed as one of the conditions! (Hope I included that listing)

Here's a few more that I posted on one of the ADA's forums recently. I think those folks are pretty much in denial about Sleep Apnea being one of the root causes of their problems.
