Boiling hot sleeper

[The Nappy Lady]

My eldest is always boiling - wet with sweat at night. She has the lightest weight duvet - 1 tog & I've just shaken it down so she's really just under a sheet.

Do others have experience of this - do they grow out of it? She is 7 now & has been this way for as long as I remember.

Surely it can't be good to sleep so hot?

its really hot today, is she like this when its freezing outside too?

Mine are the same and get very sweaty and vinegar smelling pillows very quickly. They are teenagers now so maybe they don't.

My daughter is also like that. She always throws the duvet off in the night and is usually sweaty when I go to check on her. My brother is still like that aged 40! Don't think it's a problem, apart from the extra laundry required.

Daughter is the same although she is only 2 years. Her bed and herself are normally soaked in the morning. When I go in to check her before I go to bed she has kicked all the covers off and is literally dripping. I think its all normal, a lot of people are hot during sleep.

Yes, my daughter is the same - I always have one less layer on her than I put on myself and night-times are a sweat fest. I have to say, I've worried a bit about it from time to time so happy to see from this thread that it's not uncommon.

can someone talk me through the vinegar pilows bit?

She's always like it WOD, but worse when it's hot of course. Even in winter she will be over hot in my view but it's clearly fairly common.

Can't help re the vinegar pillows, I guess it's just a strange sweaty smell?
