Night Sweat

[Ken]

I take alot of vits/herbs sometimes at 8:00 PM or later. I
sleep on my stomach and wrap the blankets underneath as well
as above. The room is always cool. I wake up in the middle of
the noght and my chest area is wet with sweat. I am 57 and
average weight and active. Any ideas what can cause this. Also
once I wake in the middle of the night I cannot fall back to
sleep as my mind has a million thoughts runnning through it.

Thank you for the input

Ken

Your feet are cold and your torso gets overheated when your
body tries to warm the feet.

I have experienced this a few times but don't know the cause.
Maybe the body is fighting a low-grade cold/flu of some sort.
