Menopausal Night Sweats

In the last few weeks I have started waking up at 4am drenched in sweat. I am late fourties’, on maximum dose of hrt patches and take progesterone.

I am really puzzled as to why this happens at pretty much exactly the same time each morning. I am also at a loss as to what to do. There are four of us living in fairly tight quarters so if I start getting up to shower I would wake them.

Anyone had similar or have any insight into why this is happening or what I could do to help?

Maybe try a different form of oestrogen? Night sweats is the biggest reason I needed HRT, and I use oestrogel.
