Sweating while sleeping
Sweating while sleeping is a very common problem for many people. Regardless of the reason, sweating while sleeping is tied to one specific trigger. In this section I will try to address the general reason why people are sweating while sleeping. This information is not tied to one specific cause for sweating but it is related to them all. For sweating while sleeping can be explained in a logical manner that will allow you to eliminate this sleep depriving problem.
Sweating while sleeping is simply due to the bodies inability to cool itself down. As uncomplicated as that may sound, there is more to it than that clear-cut fact. For we must understand how the body cools itself down before we can address the problem successfully.
Sweating while sleeping is the very last action that the body takes in its effort to cool down. Anything past that stage becomes a health risk commonly known as heat exhaustion. Prior to sweating the body attempts to eliminate heat using three preferred methods. If the required coolness can not be obtained with the three main methods of cooling, the body has no choice but to sweat.
The three methods the body uses prior to sweating while sleeping or sweating any time are the following in this order:
Radiation is when you radiate heat energy like an oven, or a light bulb, You can feel the heat without touching the source.
Conduction is the heat that you will feel when you touch the source of radiant heat. That heat that is transferred to your hand by conduction.
Convection is the heat that you can feel when hot air is blown upon you. Like the heat of a hair dryer. That is an extreme example of convection but simple to understand. The heat that is generated within the hair dryer is transferred to the air via convection. Thus the air is conveying the heat from the heat source inside of the dryer. The heat is moved from inside the hair dryer, out to your hair using air.
So what does all this have to do with sweating while sleeping? Lets remember that sweating is the very last phase of cooling that the body will go through prior to just shutting itself down. We are attempting to eliminate sweating while sleeping. so to accomplish this we must realize that we must cool the body before we reach the sweating stage.
Radiation and conduction are the two cooling methods that are normally used while we are in bed. Your body radiates heat and your bed absorbs that radiation. You are laying in your bed, surrounded by material, that material is also absorbing your body heat.
Sweating while sleeping happens because we reach a point in our bed where the bed is no longer able to absorb more heat. The next step the body takes to cool itself down is sweating.
But wait, you say, what about the third step in cooling, Convection?
You are absolutely right. How could we forget about convection. Remember the description of convection, where the air moves next to the source of heat and conveys that heat away. Well until you found this site, you had no way of conveying that heat with air unless you kicked off your covers and let the air flow freely around you.
That is exactly what the Bedfan cooling system will do for you. It will cool your body and your bed using convection. You will remain cool and your sweating while sleeping will be over for good.
