                        I don't know what age you are, but I started going through menopause at the age of 35.  As far as night sweats, I wake up soak and wet like I took a shower and the sheets are soaked also. Mood swings are definately a sign also. Mine happen so suddenly, one minute I'm fine and bam! My periods definately are different each month. I never know what to expect.  But I have found things to help ease some of the symptons, and friends of mine tried these too and it did help.  First, certain vitamins are a real help, Calcium, Vitamin B-6.  My doctor recommended them and they truly help the mood swings and hot flashes.  And I stay active, I exercise regularly  and try to go with the flow. Good luck.
