Anyone else's teenage DSs sweat at night?

I go to check on my DCs before I go to bed, which is usually about 11 pm, an hour or so after my DS (13) has gone to sleep. He is always covered in a layer of sweat. Is this usual going into puberty or should I take him to GP? Does anyone else's sons do this?

DS1 got particularly sweaty when he started puberty and I still need to open a window in his room to freshen it up in the morning. DS2 is the opposite though - always cold.

Thanks for your reply. Was it just at night? My DS doesn't seem to sweat much during the day.

No, both boys got sweatier during the day, or least their sweat is whiffier .
Has he any other symptoms? Has puberty started?
Really though, if you are worried you could see a GP. The changes to boys' bodies aren't always as well known to mums as puberty in girls. I remember taking DS1 to the doctor because he was complaining of pain in the nipple area. Common in hormonal boys apparently!
