for women - night sweats

[jothenurse]

I'm used to having hot flashes and waking up sweaty and hot - then cooling down and getting chilled. (I'm 56). But last night I would wake up all sweaty but freezing - it was like I had slept through the hot flash part which is not how it usually happens for me. Woke up several times like this. I did have the air conditioner on and it was quite cool if that had something to do with it.
Anyone else have this?

Hi. I have often woke up really clammy, its always when I have left my bedroom window open too. I really don't think its any thing to worry about xx

Could have been that the hot flash part wasn't that hot for a change and the cooling down part was cooler than usual because of the air-con and being very cold can wake you as much as being very hot. I usually wake up hot too (i'm also 56) but not sweaty thankfully, ive never been a sweaty person fortunately. Then I have the usual duvet on/duvet off for the rest of the night!

Thanks for your replies. I usually wake up very hot/sweaty. Then take the blanket off. Then get cold, and put the blanket back on. On and off all night. This was just different - waking up sweaty and cold.
