    A cure for Night Sweats.......?

    For the past two nights, I’ve been able to defeat the dreaded “night sweats”.

    Ordinarily, when it is cold outside, back home, I’d have the ceiling fan on, and then a sheet over me to hold in some body heat.

    But here, no overhead fan. And no top sheet. I have a bulky comforter, so when I strip down to go to bed, I just throw the comforter over the top of me.

    Problem is, I wake up in a puddle a few hours later…. Not pleasant!

    For the last two nights, I’ve reversed my strategy. Instead of stripping down, I put my Raider jammies on, some socks, and my Raider hoodie sweatshirt on. I also turn the heater up a tad to eliminate the temptation of throwing covers on top of me in the middle of the night. Then, I just throw my Raider blanket over me. It’s not thick, and has good aeration. And I fall asleep that way, on top of the bed. I think this works because with the comforter, warm air gets trapped and builds up heat. By sleeping on top of the bed the way I do, I get much better air circulation.

    So far, so good. You might want to consider If you are in a similar situation.

    I just want to point out though, this technique only works with Bona Fide NFL Raider Gear…. Accept no substitutes!! =)

    No way I could do that. I'd go insane during the night.

    well, tbh, although no night sweats, i wasn't able to get totally comfortable, and my sleep suffered. now i'm sitting here yawning into my terminal.

    sometimes the cure is worse than the disease?

    But i'll kleep trying...

    I'd rather wake up in pools of sweat with my Patriots jammies on than dry in Raiders gear.

    even before TRT, i was a furnace. in the winter time, I'd have the celing fan on and only a bed sheet to cover me up. woman says she can feel my body heat from a foot away.

    You know it's funny if you think about it. People who live in HOT country dont walk around 1/2 naked most of the time. You tend to sweat less if you have clothes one as TR suggest.
    Part of it is just getting use to things also. I sweated for the first 3 years, not not so much, almost never.

    had to sleep on the recliner again last night. woke up in a puddle of sweat in the bed. starting to get the hang of it. I believe it is the official NFL Raider Jammies that does the trick?

    You sure about that?

    DSM may have been playing out his SCAT fantasies on you while you were sleeping....

    No, you need to get an official Tom Brady jersey from the official Patriots clubhouse store. Then you'll never have a night sweat again.
