Poll of the Day > Most nights I wake up at midnight, drenched in sweat and dont go back to sleep

(+) Yeah! (+)

I actually had to wring my hair out last night. It's that gross.

I'm fucking mad all the time yall, and the lack of meaningful sleep is not helping. If I dont scrub for a good 15 min in the shower every morning, I smell like sweat all goddamn day.

I wanna move to the arctic until this is over.

Lack of sex got you down?

Never take meth before bed kids.

I dont know if that is a joke, but no. Never once in my life

Is it because of your MS? Or just the weather?

The weather certainly doesnt help, but it's more like a hotflash I think. I'm hot and itchy like I just ate a fistful of niacin (although the feeling is somewhat reminiscent of tecfidera flushing, which was my old ms medication). I've always been a sweater, but this has been straight up ridiculous. Far beyond the pale.

I'm turning on the AC tonight, and cranking it down to 40. If this doesn't work, I'm going to start sleeping in a bathtub full of ice.

The same thing happened to me when I was younger, the beads of sweat rolling down my face constantly woke me up and my pillow would be soaked

I stopped wearing pajamas and havent had a problem since

A ceiling fan is always nice too

I havent worn clothes to sleep since I was 12, and I have a fan in the window pointed right at my face. I always prefer it cold when I sleep, so the usual measures have already been taken. All that is left is the extreme.

Oh it's ur hormones

Fuck that noise lol

Same here, it's easier to keep warm during sleep than cool

My brother used to sleep with a really thin blanket and keep the window open during most of winter

I would recommend stuff like cranking the A/C or trying to get heat-dispersing bedding (latex memory foam, special pillows, etc), but if it's an internal problem with your body there probably isn't much you can do about it.
