Night sweats?  Its a menopause thing.  How old are you?

I also had a doctor once tell me it is your body healing.  You start sweating...when menopause isn't an issue.
No idea on how you are healing...I've never looked into it further.

Does sound menopausal, although there isn't much info to go on.  Like, are you or do you suffer from depression?  Do you have night traumas?  Are you diabetic?  Are you on any medication or recovering from an illness.  If no to any of these, I would speak to your doctor about being possibly menopausal.  And at 37 that is really possible.

it is referred to as "night sweats", and there are at least 8 possible reasons:
 
*menopause
 
*idiopathic hyperhydrosis
 
*infections such as tuberculosis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis or HIV
 
*cancers, primarily lymphomas
 
*medications, especially antidepressants
 
*hypoglycemia
 
*hormone disorders
 
*neurologic conditions
 
this slave has been enduring them for 24 years, due to a massive hormonal overload...sometimes keeping big beach-sized towels by the bed to sleep on and cover up with after drenching her side in the middle of the night, in an attempt not to disturb Master changing sheets in the middle of the night.[:)]

Yep my estrogen is extremely high but it always has been.  Though it is likely the cause as i said earlier "hormonal".  None of the other things you mention apply in my case cept meno.  It sucks because you cant get back to sleep your sitting there shivering...

Perimenopause is the transition time between a woman’s reproductive years and menopause.  Typically, perimenopause occurs between the ages 40 to 51 (average age is 47), but hormonal changes may start as early as the late 30's.  As women age, the supply of eggs in the ovaries is depleted.  In the 40's, the supply is very low, and menstrual cycles without ovulation (anovulatory cycles) become more frequent.  Due to the increase in anovulatory cycles, perimenopausal women often have low levels of progesterone, with high or fluctuating levels of estrogen.  High estrogen, low progesterone or an imbalance of estrogen to progesterone may be associated with many of the symptoms that perimenopausal women experience including hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, headaches, palpitations and irregular, prolonged or heavy menses.  These symptoms are often worse before the menstrual period, so many women may think they are having PMS, when it may be the beginning of perimenopause.  If you are experiencing symptoms of Perimenopause, you are not alone.

I have night sweats - is it normal?
They come and go. But I soak the entire bed and I will be dripping wet almost. It's nasty. I'm only 29 so I can't figure out why it's happening. I am a very anxious person and I was having palpitations because of it and my doc had my heart checked and my blood done and everything was fine ( I was having the night sweats at that time also). So what could it be? Am I dreaming and getting stressed or something?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071115041304AA84Nu1
