Brief Answer:
Please provide more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your concern and I will definitely help you in best possible way but at the outset I would like further information for better assessment of the condition
Since how long you have noticed this problem?
Do you sleep in a hot or humid bed room?
Have you seen any doctor or ordered any investigations?

In my opinion you should sleep in loosely fitted clothes in a well ventilated and aired room.
Sweating during sleep might be related to wrong posture or humid environment.
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more accurately.
Best wishes
