This started to happen gradually. It happened only once at first, then sometimes, now everyday. I go to sleep at a room temperature that feels too warm due to a lack of air conditioning. Then I wake up in the middle of the night, feeling cold as if the room is quite cold. I usually try to avoid the cold by hugging the mattress, because I have morning fatigue. I fall asleep and wake up the final time, then I put on some sweat-pants and a sweat-shirt. It takes a while for me to warm up. Then when I eat breakfast, the temperature is again too warm for me.
I don't know what I could attribute this to. Am I burning calories too quickly, and the result is not having enough sugar to make it through the night, and "feeling cold" because of a higher temperature set-point? A couple of supplements I've been experimenting with are progest-E and vitamin B6. It could also have to do with seasonal changes. I don't know what to do about this either, when I go to bed the temperature is too high, then when I wake up the temperature is too low. I do eat a little ice cream before bed like RP recommends, but just a little since I get diarrhea when I eat too much lactose. I have avoided protein before bed for a while because it can cause hypoglycemia during the night.
