Menopause/Night Sweats and Curls

IrishIndian

Hey ya'll !
This is my first post so if I ask a question that's been answered 100 times, please forgive me. I really did look through the past posts and didn't see what I need to know.
I'm going through menopause, or close to through with it, I'm 48.
All my life, menopause or not, I have had horrible night sweats that last either a few days, weeks , or every night for a month.
I know we are supposed to sleep with a satin bonnet and/or pillow but... I sweat horribly even on nice cotton pillowcases , so I can't even begin to imagine sleeping with something on my head, much less something on my head that doesn't breathe and on a pillowcase that makes me sweat even without something on my head.
Is there any way around this , or a different combo that will help?
TIA

Hi I.I.,

When I withdrew from a medication last year, one of the side effects was night sweats. It was dreadful. Although I'm not a believer in sleeping in a bonnet or on a silk or satin pillowcase, my solution was to use simple cotton pillowcases and put as much of my hair as possible in a pineapple. Ironically, the moisture from sweating made my hair curl more, so even though I felt uncomfortable, my hair responded well. Go figure.

HTH!
