I found that Remefemin (can be bought at the chemist, no prescription) got rid of mine altogether, however not everyone can take it as it apparently mimics a hormone. My oncologist recommended it for me.
I resorted to a cold wet (and wrung out) tea towel laid out over my chest and stomach in bed at least helped me fall asleep, a bottle of water beside the bed and a fan on also helped a bit.
