The NHS is warning people who regularly wake up drenched in sweat that it could signal a more serious health issue. Persistent night sweats, soaking clothing and bedding even in a cool room, can be linked to infections, thyroid problems, diabetes, or certain cancers. Occasional night sweats are common, but if they occur several times a week or persist for weeks, consulting a GP is advised for diagnosis and reassurance.
