Here lately I have been having a real problem with sweating in my sleep.
I will wake up in the middle of the night... sweat dripping off me
And most of the time, by the time it wakes me up,
my sheets are already damp (if not drenched)...
Ugh so annoying and disgusting!!!
Any ideas on how I can make it stop?

I had that something awful on efexor.
And then I get it still now, when my excess water goes once my period starts [tmi, sorry!].
I also sweat a lot with anxiety, at any time..
I don't have any great suggestions. The best thing is to find out the cause, and go from there.
And then I get it still now, when my excess water goes once my period starts
my sweating can be at any time of the month.
I don't think my period has anything to do with it,
and I am not currently on ANY medications...
so it can't be a side effect of anything... lol
I thought maybe it was anxiety at first,
cuz I have a lot of nightmares,
but even if I don't have nightmares,
I still wake up sweatin'

I think it's likely to be the nightmares as you don't remember a large proportion of your dreams/ nightmares. For example a person has 8-10 dreams a night and you tend to only remember 1 and thats only on some nights. Also, maybe try sleeping with only a blanket instead of your duvet or get a thinner duvet and see if that helps because some people do get hot when they sleep. Do you sweat quite a lot in the day?
if it's really a problem for you see your GP. It could be that your blood sugar levels are dropping during the night too, cause that's a dead common symptom of hypoglycemia. If you happen to be diabetic, it's a def possibility. But that's probs a long shot, and I'm not medically qualified in anyways. Animad is so right though, try with thinner sheets and stuff, and if it's still a problem see your doc

Odd question, but do you snore or have trouble breathing during the night because there's a disorder called 'Obstructive Sleep Apnea' that causes heavy sweating while sleeping but also causes breathing problems.
i wake up soaked. what usually wakes me up is the fact that im freezing cold because everything is damn with sweat.
im on efexor too, but its been happening since before that i think,
i dont snore of have apnea type problems and as far as i know idont have nightmares.
i have an ED but i think i eat enough to keep my blood sugars up during th night.
Please go to your GP. It's most likely nothing serious but it can be a symptom of Hodgkins Lymphoma like Crazy Rabbit Lady said. I've always been told to watch out for this so it's best to get checked out. Your GP should also be able to tell you what you can do to make it stop.
Sometimes the way in life seems cloudy...But remember, after the storm comes clear skies
There are several medical conditions that can cause night sweats, or as Animad said it could be a physical reaction to subconscious stress.
It's always a good idea to get things like this ruled out as an issue by your GP before you attribute it to bad dreams or stress. Diabetes, hormone imbalance, and other problems with your endocrine system can cause night sweats. Your endocrine system is what produces the hormones in your body - not just the girly ones - but the ones that regulate everything else.
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.
I sweat a both at night and in the morning when i'm anxious. I wake up in the morning sweaty almost every morning! It does annoy me a bit. And like someone said, you feel cold because of it.
I put it down to anxiety and also, some meds can make tempurature regulation difficult (chlorpromazine)
