Sweating While sleeping

Hi. I'm 24 years old boy. I remember that I used to sweat during nights specially in my head and my hair got wet. But I don't remember the frequency of this problem.
Now I sweat whenever I sleep no matter I'm sleeping at night or in morning or afternoon. I used to use blanket even in summers. When I wake up at the middle of the sleep my forehead is too wet and my chest and armpits are wet too but the main problem is my head and my hair. I have the problem now for about 2 weeks( I mean it is 2 weeks that I sweat every time I sleep)
I noticed whenever my room gets cooler in summers I sweat more but I can't tell you that is from the cold room or it is for that when the room temp. falls I went under the blanket and start to sweat.
I sweat a lot when I'm not sleeping during the daily works in summers, a LOT.
Now I'm too scared that I might have a serious illness, Can anyone help me here?
What is night sweats looks like in HIV or cancer? Are the people with HIV or Cancer sweat every time they sleep?

Thanks a lot.

dont worry, i always have this, since the age of 18, it might be from different causes, one of them is acid reflux , and maybe stress ...

dont worry its nothing, dont google it because whatever you google they will link you to cancer or serious illness , so stop thinking about it, just stop eating late at night and decrease your stress

Excessive sweating during sleep can signify an illness your body is trying to fight off. It is not a symptom of cancer nor HIV however if you are diagnosed already that could be the cause.
