Question
Why do children always sweat so much at night when the weather isn’t very hot?
Answer
Sweating is a physiological phenomenon, where the body releases sweat to dissipate heat and maintain a normal body temperature. It is very common for babies to sweat during deep sleep. Children have a high metabolism and are active, so they tend to sweat more than adults. Trace elements in the body can be metabolized through sweat, with zinc being one of them. Excessive sweating can lead to significant zinc loss, so children who sweat a lot should be appropriately supplemented with zinc.
