I am a 35 year old male. I am not overweight but havn’t exercised for quite sometime. I used to be in really good shape, running and all sorts of cardio, until I left the Military 12 years ago. Yes I smoke and I do drink. I don’t consume alcohol everyday, maybe twice a week, but when I do it is definately over indulgence. Lately I can’t get a good nights sleep for nothing. It keeps my wife up, how many times I flip from stomach to one side or the other (I try to sleep on my back but snore). The last few day’s I wake up sweating and my wife tells me I am burning up. By morning time the sweating has stopped. Should I be concerned or just do the obvious, exercise, and quit drinking and smoking?
Be concerned. Waking up in a sweat is not normal for out-of-shape people. Have your heart checked with an EKG, because the heart and lungs are interrelated systems. Some heart problems (like Congestive Heart Failure) are worse when you’re lying down.
And yes, quit smoking. Smoking is probably the single worst thing you can do to your body — far worse than moderate drinking.
i’d go in for a check up and talk to the Dr. about it if i were you….could be symptoms of a problem

It could be something as simple as a bad mattress and needing to cut the fan on. On the other hand, the night sweats could be an immune response to something more serious. You can’t eliminate possibilities until someone runs some labs on you.
Schedule a check up with your physician, better safe than sorry.
