Answer #1

Because most of the time its from a dream. You dream every night but as you grow older you dont remember your dreams when you wake up

Answer #2

During menopause, estrogen levels fluctuate. The hypothalamus, a region of the brain that regulates body temperature and is affected by hormones, can become confused by these changes in estrogen levels. Like a faulty thermostat, the hypothalamus may respond to the changes in estrogen as if it senses an increase in your body’s temperature. In an attempt to cool you down, the hypothalamus sets off a cascade of events, including dilating blood vessels to release heat (which you feel as a hot flash) and triggering sweat glands (which you feel as sudden, intense perspiration). The result is you wake up drenched and chilly, with a speeding heart and a sensation of anxiety.
