Commentary states: Sweat is the fluid of the Heart. After the recovery from Cold Damage (Shanghan), sweating during sleep occurs due to deficiency of Heart Qi, insufficiency of Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive) Qi, loose interstices (Cou Li), and weakness of the exterior. Thus, sweat flows out during slumber. Hence it is called "Stealing Sweat" (Dao Han). If prolonged without resolution, the body will gradually become emaciated, and the limbs will become flaccid and weak.
