Night sweats.
 
Its gotten worse recently every hour to an hour an half or so... I'll wake up literally drenched head to toe in cold sweat. Does anyone have any idea what this might be, the broken sleep is making me exhausted.

How long since you stopped drinking?

I get them everytime I quit drinking. It's your body detoxing.

I get them most nights- and I just passed 15 mo sober. Usually I have to change shirts and always have to flip the pillow. It's not the best but it is just what happens....the interrupted sleep is more when I am struggling with dreams or big issues in my life.

Perhaps talk to your dr about a sleep aid- I take seroquel which is for sleep and also has an anti-anxiety component- when I take two instead of one I sleep better (dr ok's this).
