Good Morning Kia302017, Waking up feeling hot or sweaty can have to do with your medications, anxiety as well as the huge amounts of adrenaline present in the early morning hours. The blood vessels are dilated because of this surge causing the heat sensation. Later in the day or evening, you may notice more of a cold sensation as the fear/anxiety constricts your blood vessels. It is nothing unusual or a need to be concerned.

Wishing you a good day Kia!

Pheonixjo, I was also getting that when on my benzos. It was a

stress sweat. A different odor than normal sweat.

Yes I always sweat whenever I sleep, especially naps. I sweat the most on my legs but I also sweat on my back and arms too. Everytime I'm about to fall asleep my body gets this moment of overheat and that wakes me up. Idk why it happens right before when I fall asleep though. Like my body temperature rises so suddenly to the point I think I'm gonna explode. Have been taking sertaline for 5 years but this problems has been going on for almost 2 years..
