What Causes Excessive Head And Chest Sweating During Sleep?

My 7 year old son sweats excessively for about the first 3 hours of his sleep. I have him in cut off pajama bottoms only and a sheet. The temperature in our house is approx. 75 and there is a fan in the room. He sleeps deeply so i usually try to flip his pillow a couple of times before i go to sleep. The sweating is mostly his head and chest.

Hi,

I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry. This is natural for some kids to sweat mainly from the head during sleep.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
