What do hot flashes feel like at night?
Hot flashes which occur at night are generally referred to as night sweats. They may disrupt a womans sleep. The major difference reported by most women between hot flashes and night sweats is the sweating. Women sometimes wake up with their bedding wet and pools of perspiration on their chest. Most women are more frustrated by night sweats than daytime hot flashes, not only because they interrupt sleep, but also because a feeling of being chilled may follow them.
