Men experiencing night sweats during early morning hours may be suffering from kidney yin deficiency. When the body's yin energy is significantly depleted, it can lead to internal heat and deficient heat, causing body fluids to escape through the pores and result in night sweats. However, nocturnal sweating in the early morning cannot entirely rule out physiological sweating; if the body is excessively fatigued or if the bedding is too heavy, night sweats may also occur.
