[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Unpleasant Chat Doctor.  You seem to be going through a stressful period currently, due to the loss of your job. So, it is quite possible that your sleep problems are being caused due to your stress.  The night sweats can also be a manifestation of nighttime anxiety / panic attacks. However, there are also a few medical conditions which can result in frequent night sweats like hypoglycemia, certain infections, hormonal imbalances (such as in menopause), etc. The recent worsening of this sweating could also be due to the flu and the associated fever and chills.  So, I would suggest that you try stress management and relaxation techniques in order to tackle your stress. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your stress and the related symptoms, then you need to seek professional help from a psychiatrist. There are effective treatment options available - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help him overcome your stress-related problems. Wish you all the best.
