Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The high body temperature while sleeping is not particularly indicative of any serious disease. In some individuals it is genetically controlled. Most commonly it is seen due to heavy bed covers.
If the problem is persistent then she needs to be evaluated for any thyroid hormone imbalances or diabetes.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
