Why do we sweat in our sleep, even in 31 degree weather?

I've recently been sleeping with the windows and doors open in order to get exercise when I sleep. My body has to burn calories trying to keep me from freezing to death, waalaa I burn off weight. But, when I wake up my t-shirt and blanket is drenched in sweat. Is this because I'm working out much more than I thought? What is the reason? It bothers me because then I go for a bike ride, but if I'm already sweaty I'm so frigid with the wind and the cold that my legs won't be able to work the pedals, so I have to take a warm shower and change before hand which is stupid because then I have to shower again when I get home! I literally got stranded in front of George Washington's old estate, I couldn't get home with my bike and a horse drawn buggy had to bring me and my bike to the tourist cafe, so I figure I better sort this out

Dunno how tall are you and how much do you weigh... Also are your sheets made of insulation?

Don't wear a t-shirt while sleeping and don't use a blanket.

You'll no longer wake up with a blanket and t-shirt drenched in sweat.

Hold on to your hooves, I am about to be BRILLIANT!

No, just a normal blanket, it was supposed to snow last night as a cold front came in over the river my bay door was open, it was pretty cold. But I had just eaten dinner so I passed out, probably because I was so tired from doing the same thing the previous night followed by a bike ride. Except it was been much warmer in this area before yesterday. And the puzzling thing is, I didn't sweat to such a noticeable amount when it was warmer?

e: oh average size I've just been trying to get more exercise coupled with harsh weather conditioning lately

31 degrees is pretty warm unless you're using an arbitrary system of measuring temperature.

Might be Farenheit degrees, 0º C = 32 ºF IIRC.

False.

The larger size of each degree Celsius results in the need for decimals where integer Fahrenheit degrees are adequate for day to day non-technical matters. Another reason is that the Fahrenheit system has a lower zero point which reduces the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data are averaged.

Europe switched to Celsicunts in the ate60's, early 70's I assume they were all high on drugs.

I've never seen anyone use decimals with celsius degrees for day to day matters and rarely outside that either, since such small differences are inconsequential. I also don't see why negative signs in weather measurements matter one way or another, or are you seriously saying your people don't have the skills to count temperature averages when negative numbers are involved?

I don't actually care which system is better and don't think it matters as long as the people using the system find it convenient for their purposes. I'm just pointing out your objections are rediculous at best.

Why not try getting exercise the normal way? Freezing yourself while sleeping is not going to make you lose weight. All you will end up doing is making yourself sick. Get off your lazy ass and exercise, or maybe consume less calories than you do now and exercise?

You admit that people who use celsius are imprecise approximating monkeys

Notice how I said 31 degrees which is specific because it is 1 degree below freezing, at 32 degrees I would not actually freeze for it must be below it.

In celsius you could never do that without using a decimal (your -1 translates a much too broad difference), of which you just admitted Europeans are incapable of doing.

In a nutshell -- a 'calorie' is a unit of energy. Your body is burning calories (and therefore, expending energy). Therefore, it's generating heat. Perspiration is our body's chief method of heat regulation, so.....

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

You must be a space creature then; 31 Kelvins is rather chilly to us flesh-beings (not to mention 31 Rankines).

Dont the people who need precisely accurate temperature measurements like scientists use Kelvins anyway? If so why would having to use decimal points in Celsius matter anyway?

If teh ab shocker or diet pills have taught us anything it's that traditional working out is no bueno, and sweating is iky. I mean just the word "workout" eh seems like a deal breaker for most.

Rips on people for using Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

Trys to lose weight by sleeping.

You consider the gimmicks and pills "traditional working out"? Really?
