Hi all:

New here, and am finding this thread fascinating. I have been doing Bikram since around 2002. With some time off here and there I go about 3-5 times per week. Years ago I started having night sweats. I changed my diet every which way I could think of, tried an Ayurvedic approach, had my doctor run all kinds of tests, and could not figure it out. Tests were perfect except for low vitamin D, which I have been supplementing since April 2010.

I moved in June 2010 and fell off the yoga wagon. No night sweats. I finally got my butt back into gear this January, going 4-5 times per week. Night sweats are back.

It seems I typically have them whenever I do the yoga. I make sure I eat balanced meals and drink plenty of water and use electrolyte packets on days I do yoga. So there is, for me, definitely a correlation between the yoga and the sweats.

My sweat production seems normal any other time of the day. But it is very unpleasant for me, and my partner, to wake up several times a night in a pool of sweat and wet blankets!

Any other suggestions would be most welsome!

Thanks!
Christine
