Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?
Layers, layers, layers...that's the trick. Thinnest layer first, sheet, then thin cotton blanket, (like the hospital ones with the little holes), then a light doonah. Later in winter add a heavier blanket folded at the foot of the bed. Dress very lightly, and not in synthetic. Add and subtract layers as necessary. I also had the most horrendous night sweats, sometimes changing both me and the sheets up to four times a night. Terrible...
