If he's always been a sweaty guy, then he just might have hyperhidrosis. Or, if thie sweating is new, then he needs to get a physical examination. New instances of sweating at night could be caused by an infection, some cancers, new medications like niacin or antidepressants, male hormonal disorders, even hypoglycemia. But most of those things have other associated problems - like severe fatigue, for example.
Or stress, like someone else said.
That being said, since he says he feels healthy and thinks he has good energy with no fatigue and otherwise sleeps just fine, he just may be too hot, plain and simple. Men often seem to generate heat like a furnace, (which is wonderful for us girls who freeze to death on cold winter nights), especially if they have a lot of body hair. Lowering the air conditioner to 70 might be cool for the average person, but not cool enough for him - 100% plain cotton sheets and no comforter on his side of the bed.
Really, he needs to make note of just how much water he is drinking, whether he is losing weight or having trouble maintaining it, and whether he is having to run to the bathroom a lot. I mean, it's good to be drinking lots of fluids and one's urine should be the palest of yellows, but if he's having to go twice every hour then something's wrong. If he's finding he needs to drink so much that he doesn't have enough room in his stomach to eat, then again, something is wrong.
He could try eliminating caffeine, alcohol and sugar drinks and see if that helps. If he's taking a multivitamin, check to see if there is niacin in it. It is possible a slow-release multivitamin is releasing niacin in the middle of the night. Niacin creates a significant hot flush and it will make you sweat - prolifically, until the body assimilates it. Try a multivitamin without niacin.
But besides all of that, a physical check up is always the best way to put one's mind at ease. Is there any way he can get that done where it won't impact your insurance app/approval? |
Um, can be a sign of a number of things. sm - rodawn
