What Caused Profuse Sweating After I Woke Up?

Hi, I woke up freezing, completely cold from sleeping without a blanket and having the windows open. I was scold I was shivering and my teeth were chattering. I bundled myself up in a synthetic material comforter and fell back asleep. I awoke to find myself dripping wet all over my body. Is this a night sweat? Or a result of bundling myself so tight inthe blanket? Thank you for your help!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if this is followed by fever then chances of infection is likely and you need to wait for couple of days to confirm this, if this comes around then forget this, if this is not infection then this would be fine soon hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day.
