Hello,

The causes of night sweats are many
Anxiety disorders
Autoimmune disorders
Autonomic neuropathy (damage to your autonomic nerves)
Brucellosis (a bacterial infection)
Carcinoid syndrome (a certain type of cancerous tumor in your intestines)
Drug addiction (substance use disorder) or withdrawal (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, benzodiazepines)
Endocarditis (an infection of the inner lining of the heart)
HIV/AIDS
Hodgkin's lymphoma (Hodgkin's disease)
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
Leukemia
Myelofibrosis (a bone marrow disorder)
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Osteomyelitis (a bone infection)
Pheochromocytoma (a rare adrenal gland tumor)
Pyogenic abscess (a pus-filled cavity caused by an infection)
Sleep disorders (such as obstructive sleep apnea)
Stroke
Syringomyelia (a fluid-filled cyst in the spinal cord)
Thyroid disease
Tuberculosis
Sometimes some medications cause it
Depression medications (antidepressants)
Drugs used to treat diabetes (if the level of sugar in your blood gets too low) (hypoglycemic agents)

Firstly do a total blood count and a biochemical balance to see what is the cause of it than treat the main cause.
Meanwhile use cotton sheets and sleep in fresh room and wear cotton clothes.
