End Menopause Night Sweats Just By Changing Your Comforter

By Meggie Haneckow

“85% of women in North America experience some form of night sweats during perimenopause and menopause and approximately 50% of women continue to experience night sweats for years after.”

Sleep interrupting night sweats can affect men and women of all ages, but as these unpleasant experiences are such a common occurrence during menopause in women that it is believed to have a permanent correlation.

What causes Night Sweats?

Night Sweats are said to be caused due to mixing of signals between mind and body. In instants of estrogen flux, the inner body heat regulator part of the hypothalamus (a brains part that controls body temperature, fatigue, thirst, circadian sleep cycle and hunger) misreads the message sign for raising body heat. It signals back by sending a message to the entire body to release heat.

The body responds within fraction of seconds of getting this message by increasing its heart rate, enlarging vessels for blood circulation and opening sweat glands. Most women experience anxiety as a part of this reaction while others might sense heart palpitations. Once the sudden rush has receded the sensations and anxiety may not be felt, but you are occupied unpleasantly in a pool of perspiration.

It is scientifically proven that silk filled, organic and breathable bedding has moisture wicking properties that can significantly reduce the impact of night sweats while you are asleep. If you are irritated by a routine of bothersome and interrupted night’s sleep, a silk filled comforter is just a cozy way to wrap your body and have a much desired snooze. An organic comforter will not only provide you relief from night sweats due to menopause, but will also reduce the chills that you might have encountered once the perspiration subsides.
