Quick Tips for Hot Flushes & Night Sweats

  • Layer smart: choose breathable fabrics (cotton, linen, bamboo) and light layers you can remove quickly when a flush hits.
  • Watch common triggers: hot drinks, spicy food, alcohol, stress and late-evening heavy meals can all make symptoms worse for some people.
  • Cool the room, not just the body: fans, open windows, a slightly cooler bedroom and cotton bedding often help dial down night sweats.
  • Protect your sleep routine: a regular wind-down, less screen time late at night and gentle movement during the day can support more settled sleep.
  • Know when to check in: if night sweats are severe, sudden, or come with weight loss, fevers or other red-flag symptoms, speak with your GP promptly.
