Night Sweats in Men – The Wardrobe Solutions

Short answer: Night sweats in men can be caused by anything from warm duvets to stress and health. Your wardrobe cannot remove the cause, but it can remove the worst of the discomfort: nightwear and bedding in bamboo move the sweat away, so you do not wake up in wet, cold clothes. If the night sweats are new or severe, talk to your doctor.

Why do you wake up soaked?

When you sweat in cotton nightwear, the fabric soaks up the moisture and stays wet against your skin. That first makes you warm and then cold, and then you wake up. Bamboo viscose instead moves the moisture away and dries quickly; read more in the guide to sleeping better with bamboo.

The nightwear that helps

Switch to a light night T-shirt for men and loose pyjama bottoms for men in bamboo, or see the whole range of bamboo nightwear for men. Avoid tight fitting polyester, which traps the heat.

The bedding is half the solution

Even the best nightwear only helps halfway if your duvet and sheet do not breathe. A set of bamboo bedding feels cool and dry and makes the sweaty nights noticeably milder.
