I have been having troubles with thermal regulation in the night. I thought it was because I was sleeping with my husband, who is a furnace, but the past couple of nights I've been sleeping by myself and am still having the same problem. I'm very cold, then I'm very hot, then I'm very cold.

I wake up in the middle of it all and have trouble falling back asleep. Regular wake-ups around 1 and 4.

Anybody else experience this? Medication side effect? Hormones out of whack?

I have problems with temp. Hot, wake up. Cold, wake up. I take 100 mg of the amitriptaline and a clonazipam..still sleep problems. Right after my injury I would always feel warm and sometimes my husband would comment on how hot I was. I used to always be cold.

@insomnia issues - I've always had sleeping problems and my mum always put the canon pachelbel on and now with my insomnia troubles/anxiety that is what i listen to. no matter how i am feeling, that music just calms me right down and helps me to either calm down, relax, or concentrate. I would suggest using something that calmed/relaxed you once as a child. Just those memories alone i find help me sleep. Just remembering the times that were simple helps.

@thermal regulation - That's interesting someone else has mentioned it. since my most previous concussions i have been either freezing in bed or boiling. I cant seem to ever be at a comfortable temperature to be able to sleep. I am however also finding im having troubles with thermal regulation during the day. i never thought to think of it as a medication side effect, just that my body is more concentrated on healing my brain and therefore just everything else is just off.
