This condition is known medically as "nocturnal pruritus" or "paroxysmal pruritus".

I believe that many friends have had a similar experience, lying in bed at night after feeling itchy all over the body, and then the next day to wake up the body and not itchy, some people say that this is related to the individual's skin, in fact, I do not think so, I met a lot of people, they have a habit of going to bed at night do not take a shower, and then bathe the next day after waking up from a nap.
In fact, we can think carefully we usually work outside, after work, back home or back to the dormitory, do not take a shower and then to the bed, a long time, the bed mites ah, some bacteria and so on a lot, then will certainly lead to an itchy skin. Like me, I have to take a shower every day before going to bed, if I go to bed without taking a shower, I will not be able to sleep, I feel very uncomfortable.
I remember one time; we live in that place because of a burst pipe suddenly stopped the water, just eight o'clock in the evening after I went back to no water so I did not take a shower, the night has not been able to sleep, tossing and turning the feeling, the body feels itchy everywhere, until until the latter half of the night to come to the water, after a shower to sleep soundly.
Bed is our resting place, usually we have to pay attention to, let's say sheets or covers, to be regularly cleaned, half a month or a month or so to wash, this is the least, if said a month or two sheets or covers are not to clean, that all above the mites, mites lying on the body that will certainly be itchy, and the number of extremely large.
As for some people wake up after sleep, get up, found that the body is not itchy, I say like this situation, let's say in the outside tired day, after returning home, the whole state is relaxed, then our skin is the same, is also in a state of relaxation, including our spirit is also a state of relaxation. After waking up the next day, a person's mental state, including our skin and various organs, it is in a state of wakefulness or tension, then these itchy will disappear.
I suggest that it is best to take a bath before going to bed, bed sheets or covers for regular cleaning, cleaning covers or sheets can use some disinfectant soak, and then the room to keep ventilated and dry a state, in this case will avoid some bacteria or mites breeding, of course, if some people have problems with her skin, that's a different story. Some people's bodies grow some sores and so on, in the quilt inside a blanket blanket a heat, will feel very itchy all over the body is very difficult. Then, like this case, go to the doctor as soon as possible, we usually bathe with some places that say sulfur soap, sulfur soap bath can be effective sterilization, but also can prevent some skin diseases.
Itch caused by central and peripheral, different diseases or different types or stages of the disease itch at different times, such as hives itch at different times for the dialectic of traditional Chinese medicine has a certain significance, some are good after exercise or meals, some are good in the afternoon or morning, scabies itch is good at night! Of course, the itching is also aggravated at night because of the increased excitability of the plant nerves at night.
Please don't invite me again, I'm not interested in that.
I'm glad I came to answer your question.
Night time is in most cases the time when mosquitoes and other insects are active. You may feel itchy when you are bitten by mosquitoes. In fact, itching is also the body's own repair process. That's why it's better during the day. Because my family is in the countryside, I have also had such encounters. No big deal. And no need to make a fuss.
According to what you said, you can appropriate time at night before going to bed sprinkle some flower water. Or skin smear some cool oil and so on can effectively expel mosquitoes.
I hope my answer can help you. Thank you 😜.
