The amount of sweat produced varies greatly. According to the clinical manifestations of patients with night sweats, they can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Most patients with mild night sweats sweat easily when they are deep in sleep, at around 5 a.m., or 1 to 2 hours before waking up. The amount of sweat is small, and they only feel a little sweat all over the body or certain parts of the body after waking up, and no sweat will be secreted again after waking up.

Most patients with moderate night sweats will sweat soon after falling asleep, and their sleeping clothes may even be soaked through. The sweat will stop after they wake up, and they will not sweat again after wiping the sweat off their bodies. This type of night sweats causes the patient to feel hot and sweat, and sometimes to feel dry mouth and throat after waking up. Patients with severe night sweats sweat easily.

Falling back to sleep may cause sweating again. The amount of sweating is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or is mixed with sweat odor.
