Are these night sweats?

[RosieHighlander]

The past few weeks I've been waking up with the hair on the back of my neck wet and my chest the same. Does this sound like night sweats? It stopped for the first time last night but nothing has changed in terms of the duvet or temperature in the house!

I'm nearly 43 and very much in perimenopause.

Sounds like it. That’s how it started for me. I went on HRT after about 3 months and they stopped within a week or two. Awful. You have my sympathy.

Thank you! My mother made out this was all going to be such a breeze! 🙄

I mean, I’m pretty sure ‘sweating at night’ would count as a night sweat, yes 😁

Menopause isn’t the only thing that can cause night sweats, though. So while you’re having night sweats they aren’t necessarily linked to perimenopause (although I imagine it’s pretty likely, if you know you’re definitely going through it!)

Yup - welcome to the club!
