Can anyone tell me if it's normal for 6 -7 year old boys to sweat alot at night?

Although he was quite ill over Christmas, my son appears to be well now, and has been for a quite a few weeks.

In the last 3 or 4 nights, when I check on him around 10pm-ish, his hair is soaking wet with sweat. He doesn't feel overly hot to touch though.

I've also noticed he has a slight bumpy rash under his skin, but it doesn't seem to bother him.


Has anyone else experienced this with their child?


Many thanks

I know that both of my two can seem pretty sweaty during the night - especially my 2.5yr old who at times seems to have pretty damp hair where she's lying on it. I've always put it down to the fact that the heating is still on and she's got a duvet to keep her warm later in the night. She never complains of being hot.


If you've got any concerns though, why not give your doctors a call and ask even just to speak to them. Our surgery usually does this and it's a great way to run concerns past someone who knows - if anything really worries them, they'll tell you to come in for a proper appointment.

my 3 year old daughter started complaining of being 'sticky' at night over a period of a few weeks (but no temperature unless it was very slight), and at the same time she was intermittently coming out in hives which she'd never had before...she had had quite a bad cold and cough beforehand and during this period, and so i put it down to a particular viral infection. All symptoms have passed now and im none the wiser.

sorry not to be able to shed some light on the matter, but just to let you know weve experienced a somewhat similar thing... i would always go to the doctor myself though even if just to put my mind at ease.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
