Google is not your friend!

The night sweats with lymphoma (and I'm assuming anything else where it's called night sweats) aren't just feeling sweaty, they're so drenching that you'd wake up and seriously wonder if you'd wet the bed in your sleep. You really would be sopping wet and you would have to change all of the bedding and flip the mattress. So if you're not feeling like that, don't worry about that!

It sounds like you're just getting too warm in bed. It's totally normal for you to sweat when you get warm. At this time of year the odd weather can make it more likely too as it'll be cold one minute so you turn the heating on/put on something warmer, then the next it'll warm up and you'll have to strip off to keep cool! I'd just try wearing thinner nightwear perhaps, or layering up instead of one thick layer, so you can take off layers as needed. At night when you're asleep you often don't realise you're getting a bit warm (cos you're asleep) so don't worry if you wake up sweaty, just take some clothes off.
