What Causes Night Sweats?

Besides menopause in women, other causes of night sweats include them being a side effect of medication or even having an illness.

Keep in mind that underlying causes or diseases are also not the only reasons you may experience night sweats.

Sleeping in a room that is too hot or having too many blankets or heavy sleepwear could also be the cause of your night sweats.
