A condition that worries many mothers is the condition of their children who sweat a lot at night. Of course, this situation happens very often, when you put the child to sleep, you see that his clothes and bed sheets are wet from sweat.
☝️In order to find out the reason why children sweat a lot during sleep, it is first necessary to get acquainted with the structure and physiology of their body.
👉Sweating during sleep in children: a physiological process!
First of all, it is necessary to know that sweating is normal for a person of any age and that the body maintains a normal body temperature in this way. In children, due to the incomplete functioning of the sweat glands and the underdevelopment of the thermoregulatory center, profuse sweating during sleep is common.
The active function of the sweat glands begins in the 3rd week of life. However, full formation occurs at the age of 5-6 years. Excessive sweating during sleep at night is most common in children under 3 years of age. This condition is rarely reported when a child is over 4 years of age.
The function of sweat glands is not only to cool the body, but also to remove toxic substances and toxins accumulated in the body, and this process is carried out together with the nervous system.
👉Sweating during sleep: a pathological process
According to many experts, the following are the reasons why children sweat profusely:
✔️Sweating of the child as a result of high room temperature or hot weather;
✔️During the day, the child's emotional state, excitability, the influence of the nervous system causes profuse sweating at night;

✔️Vitamin D deficiency and rickets;
✔️ Apnea;
Deficiencies in thyroid gland function;
✔️Liver and gastrointestinal system problems;
✔️ Cardiovascular diseases;
✔️Changes in the immune system.
🤷🏻♀ Why do children sweat a lot during sleep?
Pediatricians explain this by saying that children's sweating during the day evaporates quickly, and children spend most of their energy during the day. Sweat glands are also active at night, but the child does not actively use its energy, so the secreted sweat does not evaporate, but accumulates in the body.
💁🏻♀ Another reason why a child sweats a lot is to wrap the child in very thick fabrics. Many mothers, fearing that their children will get cold, wrap them in very thick cloths before sleeping or wear clothes that are not suitable for the season, as a result, the child's body becomes hot and suffers from excessive sweating.
🙋🏻♀In order for children not to overheat and sweat, the following should be observed:
????
👉 It is desirable that the optimal temperature in the children's room is 18-21 degrees, and the humidity level is 50-60%. Dry air also activates sweat glands.
👉 It is necessary to ventilate the room where the child sleeps: 10-20 times during the day for 3-4 minutes.
👉Children should be dressed appropriately for room temperature. It is recommended that clothing fabrics are natural and breathable.
