While sleeping I Woke up Sweating?

I work a 3rd shift job, and yesterday afternoon I woke up wet from sweating? My entire body was wet and my sheets were to. I'm a fairly healthy person. I'm 47 normal weight. And little anxiety. I feel fine. I have read that it may be an internal problem and that I should get a physical?

How about a bad dream? There are many reasons for the body to sweat besides being warm and most are not reason to worry. If it remains an isolated incident no worries; IF you continue to have night sweats it is worth a visit to your MD as you may be experiencing early onset symptoms of something that will require medical intervention. A one time episode is nothing to worry about- several episodes however do merit a causation factor be established and a MD is your best bet for that-
Having worked nights before (Nurse)- you are going against normal body rhythms when you force yourself to stay awake and the entire episode may just be exhaustion!
An annual physical is always a good place to start and write down your concerns so you don't forget to mention it to the MD at the time!
