My husband says he is sweating at night and waking up with clothes and bedding is damp. This is new. I suggested maybe it was an accident? "Oh, no accident. It’s from sweating."
There is no strong odor of urine but a slight odor. He has an Alzheimer's and vascular dementia diagnosis. 4 years since diagnosis. The house temperature has not been changed. I’m not sure if this is the beginning of incontinence.
Does he have any new medications?
Here is a link to an excellent product called Extrasorbs that soak up a LOT of fluid:

A doctor's appointment is a good idea, as has been recommended, b/c if it's really night sweats DH is having, that can be caused by a wide variety of things you're best of eliminating asap.
Good luck!
I put a towel over the damp sheet and change nightie. Usually the top sheet isn't too bad. Sometimes, I put my fan on the folded back top sheet for a minute. It makes the bed cold, but my electric blanket and body will rewarm it quickly.
