Damp wake-ups showed up after my weight stabilized and they keep happening and I don't know why

I’m about 14 months into maintenance after losing 80 lb. The night sweats I had early on reta had mostly faded, but this month they’ve been visiting once or twice a week. Not drenched — just that 3 a.m. clammy wake-up where I flip the pillow and check the room temp.

Weight is holding within 2 lb, resting heart rate is normal, no fever, and the only changes I can point to are later evening walks and spicier dinners. I’m tracking it as a pattern, not panicking over one night.

For those further out: did your night sweats come in waves as your weight or appetite changed, or did they end up being something mundane like bedding, alcohol, or late meals?
