Ensuring that the bedroom temperature is cool and limiting sleeping attire can help reduce the occurrence of night sweats. This can also be complemented by the use of light bedclothes and avoiding spicy and hot foods. Exercise before bedtime can actually increase body temperature and exacerbate night sweats. Milk and milk products are not directly related to night sweats. A hysterectomy is not typically recommended as a first-line treatment for menopause symptoms.
