What helps relieve night sweats and what makes them worse

This is a topic I would LOVE to get comments on. A lot of things that I have found have been mostly trial and error and much of it is a just the difference between 'yuk yuk' and just plain 'yuk'

1. Sleeping in long sleeved, close fitting shirts and long pants of some kind of absorbant material.
Sounds counterintuitive, but more I'm wearing, the less I sweat and the less icky it is. I'm not the only one either, it seems....I read this elsewhere also. Night clothes should be well-fitting, not loose or baggy. I have some pyjamas in a material that is supposed to be especially for night sweats. They are okay-ish. I also have a few shirts and long underwear that I got years ago at a hiking shop that are my favorite. The material should be 'wicking'...it should be somewhat absorbant to draw away the sweat and keep you confortable. Sleeping naked is the absolute worst. I find that if I sleep with no clothes, I'll get  night sweats even when I don't have my period.

2. Keep several change of clothes and towels right next to the bed. It's always a battle to drag myself awake enough to change the dripping clothes, but I think changing leads to better sleep and is healthier to be dry at least some of the night.

3. No exercise, hot showers or saunas in the night time. I find that if I raise my body temperature in the hours before bedtime, I have worse night sweats.

4. No lotions or body creams applied before bed. Gets slimy with the sweat, ewwwww.

5. The comforter rotation; Rotate the comforter or blankets 90 degrees each time you get up to change your clothes. Since I have my husband on the other side of the bed, I usually rotate first clockwise, and then anti-clockwise etc...

Please, if anyone has anything to share on making the night sweats more bearable, please please...
