I can understand the hot blood, i'm very much so that way myself- I have to have a fan running, just so there is air movement felt on my face, or I can't sleep right.
So hat, mittens, etc., are obviously out of the question... I wonder if applying a little baby oil (like a few drops right on the knot) and letting it soak into the knot would loosen it up or help make it slick enough to unbind? Maybe the friction of the hair that the knot depends on will go away. And I wouldn't try wetting it with water, if you haven't already, I'm almost positive that would make it worse. My hair, when I had it a little longer, would only knot if it was wet.
