I didn't think I was menopausal, but I've been waking up sweating and gross repeatedly over the past couple months. It is likely because I now have a toaster oven heating system. Baseboard electric is kind of a pain in the ass, but I like living where I am so I will have to continue to work with the system.
Anyway, I have managed to figure out for a few nights a bone dry solution and there seems to be no rhyme of reason to the sweating pattern. I can't figure out if my down duvet is too heavy, or I'm wearing too many clothes or if the temperature is too hot or too cold.
I start cold, then at some point between 1:45AM to 3:00AM I wake up damp with sweat and hot. I change clothes, pull the bedclothes back and try to get back to sleep. I'm in bad need of suggestions, even though I've already asked my sister-in-law. She lived in the apartment before I moved in and owns the place.
In other news, I just watched the new Star Trek Beyond trailer. I'm a little concerned over this new Kirk-Lady romance thing going on, but the supporting characters' roles seem to be strong and dynamic, which is what amps me up for the movie. I'm a huge Bones, Scotty and Spock fan. Is anyone a bigger fan of Kirk? I'm not against Kirk, I just like the other guys so so much more!
Anyway, good luck to everyone else in their slumber endeavors!
I have to sleep with the heat on low. I have baseboard heating as well, and it takes up 50% of our bedroom. So needless to say, if I sleep with the heat on a normal temp, I'm dying! It just sucks getting out of bed to a cold house in the mornings though.
ReplyDeleteI have the idea in my head, however, that if the room is TOO cold that my body starts going into overdrive and still results in my crazy sweats.
