You're right, this seems completely unrelated to the environment. It seems perceptual, but then I sweat, shiver, etc. Who knows? It is just so irritating because its impacting my sleep. I'll layer up, fall asleep, and wake up in sweat. Take the layers off, go back to sleep, and wake up shivering. There's just no winning since its just swing from hot to cold to hot, and sometimes both at once! I could deal with it fine if I could just sleep through it. Sigh...

I have a long scheduled neuro appointment early next month. I'm definitely going to bring this up.
Maybe buy an electric blanket that you can put on a timer so it goes off and on? -- might be hard to coordinate with chills and sweats. Bit it's a thought!
