Hot flashes at night, apparently. Any tips?

[#2ontheway]

I guess I'm having hot flashes at night. Sheesh!

I generally run cold and our room is cool. I sleep in pajama bottoms and a t-shirt and sometimes socks. Under a down comforter. Perfect!

Until I wake up at night soaked, soaked! in sweat. Then, later, I wake up absolutely freezing in my soaked pajamas.

So, probably nothing to do but accept this as how things are. I can't sleep in skimpy pajamas because I'll freeze. But then I'm soaking what I'm wearing!

What works for you?

I remember wearing fleece pj's when I had postpartum sweats, maybe that would help? The fleece was almost too toasty at times but didnt absorb sweat. Or switch to shorts and add a waffle weave cotton blanket to the bedding?

I think you'd be better w layers of blankets instead of so many clothes.

Leave a pair of clean pjs in bathroom. Change when you wake up sweaty

Try pjs from Soma. They are more wicking. No cotton pjs. I've tried different pj options and even if I wear skimpy pjs, I'll still sweat through the sheets. It's a lot easier to change pjs in the middle of the night than sheets. I keep a change beside my bed.
