You wake up, and for a second you don't know why. Then you feel it — your nightshirt is plastered to your back. The pillow is damp. You peel yourself out of bed, change clothes in the dark, flip the pillow, lie back down. Your heart is pounding. Sleep is gone for the next two hours.
This is the boiler room. Where the furnace turns itself on and off all night while you try to rest above it.
Night sweats are not just hot flashes that happen at night. They have their own physiology — they wake you in the deepest part of sleep, tank your recovery, and over months they hollow you out. Sleeping cool is not a luxury. It's medicine.
