I usually fall asleep and wake up better. I too have the hot and cold going on. So the comforter is on and off as I adjust to the tenperartures. The leg is always cold.

I've found that my hot water bottle is my best friend, I use it constantly. I have one that has a nice soft fleece cover on it that can be removed to be washed. Even if it is just next to my foot-leg under the covers it seems to keep a good steady heat throughout the night.
