Night sweats can indicate low blood sugars at night.

If you are past menopause and still have them, this might be the cause. Blood sugars fall typically in the wee hours, then the liver gets the signal to make sugar for wake up time, and hence the insulin gets dumped in large amounts, and the sweating occurs.
This is called the "dawn phenomenon" and happens with type II diabetes frequently.

Here is a list for night sweats:

I find that NSAIDs taken for inflammation, make me sweat more.
So if you use these for pain, you might find sweating the result.
Notice that prednisone is on the list at the WebMD site.
