I wake up occasionally in the morning drenched in sweat that has a funny sickly smell. What does this mean?

You dont say if you have any other medical conditions. Such as diabeties.\n\nPlease see your doctor, have a full check up. Blood pressure, and blood tests, especially for diabeties.\n\nMy dad is a diabetic, and he does this occationly, and usually means his blood sugar has gone high or low in the night.

Do you use a wash cloth and soap? If you just use soap or just rinse off your body oils are still on your body. This is what gives people their odor, good or bad. Check your towel. If your towel is not drying properly it could make you smell sour. Your body oils might be trapped on the towel, also. Drink lots of fluids, eat a lot of green leafy vegetables to cleanse your system.\nScrub your butt and try "Body Mint" (a chlorophyll based supplement) if all else fails.

What you smell like when you sweat is directly related to what you eat.  If you consume pungent food like garlic and onions, your sweat can smell terrible!  Some foods can make your sweat smell sweet -- pineapple, reportedly.  So, try changing your diet, and of course shower regularly with deodorant soap.

I would say either you are really really tired, or you have an allergy to something in your environment. Mine burn a lot when I am extremely tired.

Some of it is soaked in your scalp skin, the rest is either soaked by your clothes or wiped off with sweat.

This is normal... As long as you don't smell funky. If you do, then go to the doctor. You should probably go to the doctor anyway. They can better educate you.

Your sweat actually contains urine, that's why it smells.  Since your armpits are a perfect place for heat and wetness, it is more abundant. Bacteria also feed off the sweat and emmit more stinky smells!

It's not REALLY a fever.  Chances are, you were sleeping under the covers.  They in turn, conserve your body heat so when you wake up, you're hot.  I usually wake up sweating.  Why then is it just your head?  I dunno.  The head is where most of your body heat is lost when it's cold out if you don't wear a hat.  Put on a hat and your toes actually warm up.

rinse your hair with some vinegar and water. it will take the sweat smell away, but wont smell like vinegar either.

because when you sleep your mouth is generally closed and cooks the bacteria in your mouth. thus the smell.

you probably have some sort of fungus that produces the smell.  kill the fungus, stop the smell.

Well, if you feel that you are perspiring unusually, then I would suggest you see a doctor. Sometimes a weird perspiration rate can be a sign that something is wrong.\nIf you just sweat, here's an idea that will work. Find a gel anti-perspirant and apply normally. Before it dries however, dust it baby, dusting, or body powder. This will keep you dry all day. I sweat like a pig when I exercise and it keeps me drier than the Mohave Desert!
