Anyone who constantly wakes up in a sweat at night is worried.

But if it's only on the face and neck, it's weirder.

Or?

It's not uncommon in summer: when the heat builds up in our own four walls, we don't get any rest at night either.

Then sleep is hard to think of.

We struggle free of the covers, toss and turn.

But the optimal sleeping temperature is between 16 and 19 degrees Celsius.

But if it doesn't cool down in the evening and night hours, it stays tropical in bed too.

Sometimes you get tired and eventually fall asleep.

With the result that some people later wake up bathed in sweat.

Night Sweats: Why Do My Neck Sweat?

Our pajamas stick to our bodies, wet hair sticks to our heads and sweat runs down our chests.

Night sweats, also known as hyperhidrosis, are not uncommon.

However, if it happens regularly, for no apparent reason, you should be suspicious.

Then there could be health reasons behind it.

But what if you don't sweat all over your body equally?

Yes, when the sweat runs down your neck and neck?

Then it is best to wear sleepwear that absorbs moisture well,

Basically, the torso with the chest and neck is a particularly heat-sensitive body region.

If it is very hot in the room, if we are dressed too warmly, if we feel stressed or hatch something, it will make our body sweat.

Night sweats: how to deal with them

Even if there is sometimes a medical cause, night sweats are usually harmless.

External influences are often "to blame".

Basically, people lose up to 1.5 liters of fluid per night while sleeping.

Sweating is a natural function of the body that protects us from overheating.

On the other hand, if you wear pajamas or bed linen made of very thick or tightly woven materials, you ensure that sweat cannot drain properly.

As a result, we sweat even more.

Dress appropriately while sleeping

The AVIOR men's sleep shirt from Third of Life (promotional link) helps you to stay cool so that you don't start sweating at night.

The shirt is made of silky-soft, light yarn and can therefore regulate moisture and heat well.

This makes it suitable for every season.

In addition, it is super soft and its cut allows a lot of freedom of movement, even for restless sleepers
