Night sweats during menopause are a common symptom caused by hormonal changes, particularly fluctuating oestrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause. These sudden episodes of excessive sweating at night can disrupt sleep, leaving many women feeling exhausted, uncomfortable, and frustrated. Often described as “hot flushes at night,” menopause night sweats can range from mild warmth to waking up drenched in sweat and needing to change bedding. While they are a normal part of the menopause transition, understanding the cause and learning simple management strategies can help improve sleep quality and overall wellbeing.
