After my recent postings about my sweat filled nights, I received a lovely email from Todd Fraser, which I thought might offer a solution to all of us in the same position:

Briefly, about seven years ago Anne Best was a happy and healthy wife and mother of four young boys. Her breast cancer diagnosis however tipped her world upside down. Following a successful surgery she underwent chemotherapy and suffered terribly from one of the most common side effects; night sweats.

At a loss, her husband suggested she try wearing one of his moisture-wicking fabric athletic shirts to bed. While not comfortable, and certainly not stylish, the material did the trick and kept her dry, giving her a night of uninterrupted sleep.

After beating her cancer she decided to explore creating a line of sleepwear intended to help women suffering from night sweats brought on my menopause or medical treatments. She worked with some of the top fabric designers in the industry and developed a proprietary material that was at once silky smooth and comfortable.

Her now successful line is called DryDreams Sleepwear and includes Pajamas, Cami’s, Nightgowns, Hospital ‘scrubs’ and even pillowcases. In addition to helping women battle night sweats, she donates 100% of her profits after operating expenses to breast cancer research. She is set to launch a new line in the next month called Performance Sleepwear which will offer garments to men and younger women.

Sue, congrats on cutting back on the alcohol and I’m glad to hear that it has helped with your night sweats. If they reappear, and a specifically designed nightgown like Anne and DryDreams produces isn’t of interest, you may want to consider a moisture-wicking shirt that can be found in most any clothing store. It may not be the most stylish but it should help you get a good, DRY night’s sleep!

Thanks Todd
