What Causes Itchy Skin at Night?

Why do I itch more at night?




I've been lying in bed every night, scratching itches I didn't have or didn't notice during the day. What exactly is going on? What can I do to help?

You have nocturnal pruritus, which is a fairly common problem. This perplexing condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including our own circadian rhythm, and the body's natural 24-hour cycle. This shift can cause nighttime skin changes like increased blood flow, feelings of warmth, and lower levels of corticosteroids, which would otherwise suppress inflammation (and itching).



Menopause and pregnancy hormone changes can also cause skin dryness and itching, which can be worse at night. Other possible culprits include antibiotics, blood pressure pills, opioids, and diuretics, as well as skin care products such as soaps, deodorants, and bug repellents.

Nighttime itching can occasionally indicate a more serious health problem, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) or liver or kidney disease.

To relieve the itch, try the following methods:

Replace your bedding and pajamas with softer, cotton-rich options.
Don't linger in the bath or shower, as this can cause dry skin.
Apply a thick moisturizer to the itchiest spots.
Add moisture to the air in your bedroom by using a humidifier.
If none of these remedies provides relief, consult your doctor about the next steps.

“He Asked For Wisdom” Monday, June 16, 2025

Key Verse “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?” (2 Chronicles 1:10) Text —2 Chronicles 1:1-10 Message William Shakespeare says, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” When God gave Solomon the opportunity as “king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude” (verse 9) to ask what He would give him, Solomon knew he needed wisdom to reign in David his father’s stead. So, instead of asking for riches, power, and other mundane things of this life like the people of the world would do, he asked for wisdom. The Scripture admonishes young people saying, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” (Proverbs 3:5-7). We all know the sinking feeling we have when we do something poorly. Lack of wisdom brings disgrace and pain but wisdom in trials makes us useful to God and to fellow men. Only wise young people strive to serve God well and have great influence for greater good. Quote Lack of wisdom brings disgrace Challenge Allow God to direct your paths. Prayer for today Dear God, grant me more wisdom, in Jesus’ name.
