Heat sensation in the middle of the night but not sweating.?

My son wakes up at night feeling extremely hot and has to remove the covers. Then later on at night the heat goes away, and he puts the covers on again. He does not sweat, only feels very hot. Anyone know what could cause this?

How old is your son? It isnt anything to worry about as long as there isnt a fever or sweat. He just gets hot thats all. My son is the same.

It could just be that his body produces too much heat underneath the thick covers and once all the heat escapes (after he takes off the covers) he becomes cold again.


I am the same way so I usually just use a thin sheet at bed time so I don't get over heated. Maybe try the same for your son.


Also if he eats right before bed time it may cause his metabolism to go up and cause his body to heat up from the process of digestion. If he gets a meal or snack before bedtime maybe give it to him a few hours earlier than usual and see if that helps.
