I went through the menopause stage in my 40's (now in my late 60's)--and no problems since until recently with the night sweats. I wake up with my hair wet and dripping and go out into the summer heat and have the same problem. I've even gotten up during the night and dried it with the hair dryer so I can get back to sleep--and of course, this also means having to wash it and style it the next morning. Grrr! I have a appt. with my dr. later this month and will ask him what he thinks about it.
