Types of sweating
Physiological night sweat
This type of sleeping and sweating occurs mostly in children, because the skin of children is very tender, contains more water, rich capillaries, metabolism is vigorous, but has not yet sound autonomic nervous regulation function. Therefore, children are prone to sweat when they are active. If they are active before sleep, their metabolism will be more active, resulting in an increase in heat. When they are asleep, sweat glands will secrete more and sweat profusely, which is conducive to heat dissipation. In addition, if the child eats before sleeping, the secretion of gastric juice will become more, causing the corresponding increase of sweat gland secretion, making the child sweat a lot when sleeping, especially the first two hours of sleeping. In addition, when the human body is sleeping, the indoor temperature is too high, the quilt is too thick, these environmental factors will cause physiological sleep sweating.
Pathological night sweat
After falling asleep, if sweating time is more than midnight, it is generally caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium can increase the excitability of sympathetic nerve and increase the secretion of sweat gland, which is more common in rickets. If there is tuberculosis patients appear to sleep sweating, often sweating all night, and accompanied by hyper red face, loss of appetite, mood ups and downs and other symptoms. Many diseases that affect the body's thermoregulation center and make sympathetic nerve excited will cause pathological sleep sweating.
