Night Sweats
Waking up damp? It's your body's internal thermostat fluctuating.
The Biology Behind It
After ovulation, your Basal Body Temperature (BBT) rises by about 0.5 degrees. If estrogen drops too sharply before your period, it can trick your hypothalamus (the body's thermostat) into thinking you're overheating, triggering a sweat response to cool you down.
Natural Solutions
Use moisture-wicking bamboo or cotton sheets.
Avoid spicy foods and alcohol in the evening, as they can trigger thermogenesis.
Place a cool compress near your bed for quick relief if you wake up overheated.

Stop guessing, start predicting.
By logging your temperature and sweat events in Bloom, you can see exactly how your BBT curve correlates with your sleep quality. This helps you identify if your night sweats are purely cyclical or related to other lifestyle factors.
