Why is DS so hot at night?

[SeaViewBliss]

My DS is 13. He has developed this issue where, as soon as he goes to bed, he gets excessively hot.

Sometimes he has a big window open and a fan on yet he’s still too hot. It’s not his room as he slept in DDs room for a few nights and the same thing happened.

He isn’t trying to pull the wool over our eyes, I have sat with him and it’s like he’s got a fever but his temperature is normal.

It’s starting to be problematic as he doesn’t fall asleep until 11.30 so he’s knackered for school.

Is this a hormonal thing? Should I get him checked out?

Could it just be a development of puberty? My DH is constantly too hot so now we have a young baby and need a warm room he's actually sleeping in the spare room in just boxers with a fan on. I'd freeze like that! He's quite a big guy, hairy (might matter for insulation??) And generally just runs hotter. DSS is the same. Could he sleep under just a sheet rather than a duvet? Might be worth seeing the GP just in case.

Thanks Blackcat

He sleeps in boxers with no cover at all. I think it might be a puberty thing.

My 13yo does this. I assume it's puberty. He seems well and comfortable. I'm not worried.

How long ago did this problem start?

Good point Yumsy DS is otherwise well.

lljkk I guess since the spring but much of the summer was so hot anyway it didn’t seem that unusual.
