Husband made me get up at 5am to shower on a Saturday.

[SeashellsSeashells]

I am a bit of a sweaty sleeper. I sleep naked and in thin sheets to try and combat the issue. I also sweat more if I have a nightmare (happened last night) and currently have a cold so a raised temperature.
I woke up at 5 am this morning. DH woke up too and told me I "well sweaty" last night. I explained I had a nightmare. He said you need a shower which I took as a joke as obviously I would shower when I got up. About 20 minutes later he was like "if you aren't going back to sleep you should go have a shower now"
I have now had a shower. I feel disgusting and embarrassed and like I must stink! AIBU to think DH could have waited till a sensible time to guilt trip me? I shower everyday and showered twice yesterday as I was out for the evening so hopefully I didn't smell completely rotten. I just feel so gross and embarrassed now

I'm a scientist, and can happily and confidently say that the blood group diet is quackery. Woo, bollocks, and generally discredited.

Most of us could probably do with eating a bit better (more greens, less processed stuff) but you need to be very sceptical of anyone promoting 'a method.' For anything really - diets, parenting... be wary of anyone who insists they have the One True Way.

Blood group diets have been researched actually, and found to have no basis in science. There's no difference between the way different groups process or react to any foods.

The paper, if anyone should wish to read it.

Hi.
I have fibromyalgia and sweat alot too. I have a waterproof mattress protector and change my sheets at least once a week. As some of the other poster have said, wearing a thin layer of clothes helps. I wear a loose cotton vet type top and cotton boxers.
I have woken myself and my partner up drenched in sweat on a number of occasions. It happens, it's not something you can control. You take the necessary precautions and wash regularly. I think your partner was being rather harsh and unsupportive. I have sometimes gone and showered in the middle of the night, but never have I been made to feel dirty by my partner for something perfectly natural that is uncontrollable.
Sorry, but I think you need to chat with him about this and get cotton bedding and pjs.

Good luck 🍀. No one deserves to be made to feel like this. Xx

I can see his point. He could have phrased it more nicely though I guess? but if you were awake anyway, and as others have said, it's not nice lying next to someone who is sweaty / sweaty sheets etc.

agree light PJs may help.

That you found his comments so hurtful is a major problem. He really should have raised this at a time when he could explain things from his point of view. If he really finds your sweatiness unpleasant, it's a fairly simple issue to raise, albeit undoubtedly a little embarrassing on both sides.

Kurrikurri and Anatidae.
Frankly I am getting bored by this thread and will not be returning to it. I have followed the ER4YT for some 15 years, and have total conviction that following the recommendations definitely, and on repeated first hand evidence, DOES make a difference to me.
That is why I suggested it as a simple option to someone who is hurt and upset and MIGHT find the answer to her problem is easily dealt with.
I repeat, if you have not given it a trial yourself, do not dismiss it.
And yes, I do have a vested interest in promoting it to others. It works for me and I want others to be aware of the option.

p.s. I have just taken a look at the paper, and I am NOT a scientist. I have never suggested that anyone tries ER4YT to cure major diseases, but careful compliance over many months certainly did "cure" pains and lack of mobility in every joint for me. Also "cured" restless legs from which I had suffered every night for decades, in 72 hours!!

Haven't read the full thread but I would advise LTB. Seriously. What an arsehole.

Honestly the more I read Mumsnet (12 years now), the more I appreciate my DH. Don't mean to sound smug as I often want to kill him but HONESTLY the shit people put up with.

How DARE he?

KurriKurri have you read the Angry Chef blog? If not, I think you might enjoy it. He debunks the myths around food with the help of scientists.
It's very good.

Thanks Motoko - that sounds an interesting read.

Hi, he's a bit off for the time but I do understand how you both feel. I have medical issues which mean I get night sweats and I find sleeping in a lightweight nightie with cotton sheets is better than bear skin I also sleep on a towel (I have a couple of huge towels that are full length) this goes in the wash everyday along with sheets and I find it has saved my mattress getting most of the sweat. Maybe go see the doc if this has been going on a while as it could be treated.

i repeat, if you have not given it a trial yourself, do not dismiss it.

No. It doesn't work like that. Science trials it, without any bias. The results of many such trials are collated and that's how you create evidence based public health data.

That's why to get a drug to market you have to jump through so many hoops. 'I whipped this up in the lab and guys, I swear it works for me' doesn't cut it. Anecdotal accounts are not data. They have a place - that's to trigger the 'hmm, that's interesting, let's take a closer look at that'

Science has had a closer look at it. It doesn't work. You obviously have found a way of living and eating that suits you and that's great. But it doesn't mean that the specific diet plan you follow has any basis in science or should be promoted to others.

Science will and does look at ANYTHING that's interesting. If the evidence supports it it becomes medicine/ policy.
