What should eight-year-old children do when they sleep at night and sweat more?
In childhood, the skin is tender, rich in water, rich in capillaries, vigorous in metabolism, unhealthy in autonomic nervous regulation, and prone to sweating during activities. If the child is too active before going to bed, the functional metabolism of various organs in the body is active, which can increase the body's heat production. When sleeping, skin blood vessels dilate, sweat glands secrete more and sweat more, which is beneficial to heat dissipation. Secondly, eating before going to bed can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase the secretion of gastric juice and sweat glands, which can cause children to sweat more after falling asleep, especially within 2 hours before going to sleep. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too high, or the quilt cover is too thick, or when using an electric blanket, it will cause sweating during sleep.

Children's night sweats must first find out the reasons in time and give appropriate treatment. Generally speaking, we don't advocate medical treatment for physiological night sweats, but take corresponding measures in our lives to eliminate the factors that lead to high fever. For example, children's bedtime activities are too large, or eating high-calorie food leads to sweating at night, so it is necessary to control their bedtime activities and food intake, which is also conducive to sleep, control their obesity, and benefit their physical and mental health. Some children sweat at night because the room temperature is too high or the quilt is too thick. The bedroom temperature is 24℃ ~ 28℃ in winter. The thickness of the quilt should increase or decrease with the change of temperature. Generally speaking, if parents pay attention to the above-mentioned incentives that easily lead to increased heat production and overcome them, the chances of night sweats will naturally decrease. Don't worry too much even if your child has a bad night sweat once or twice occasionally. Night sweats mainly lose water and salt, which can be supplemented by a reasonable diet every day.
