Nighttime sweating in women may be due to insufficient heart blood, commonly caused by excessive mental or life stress and poor sleep quality, which damages the heart and spleen, leading to neurasthenia or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It could also result from yin deficiency with hyperactive fire, usually due to malnutrition or chronic late-night habits, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as heat in the palms and soles, and dry mouth.
