These events occur during nighttime and may produce heavy sweating to the point of soaking your nightclothes even when your bedroom is at a pleasant cool temperature. Throughout the years of perimenopause, many women will experience them. Just like hot flashes, night sweats are the result of sudden increases in a woman's body temperature; the body temperature peaks and stays up for a little while and then returns to normal. When these events are frequent it can affect your quality of sleep making you feel tired during the day.
