Since coming back to school the first few nights of sleeping together (JS and I) were fine but then recently everytime we go to bed my skin is like boiling hot but I feel cold. During the day I don't feel extra warm, just at night. When I touch JS he starts sweating from my body heat. I wish I knew what was going on and why my body is doing this. Sleeping at night is hard if we're both sweating from my level of heat output.
And no I don't think this is menopause.
Any other ideas on the cause?

JK - maybe it's global warming.
- room temperature, too many covers, anxiety?
...js makes you hot???

Do you take a shower before you go to bed? If I take a hot shower right before I go to bed, I feel hot like that too.

Or maybe your dorm room hold more heat than your old room and you are still adjusting to the change. When we get tired, our body temperature changes. At least mine does. I can tell when I'm about ready to fall asleep because I get very cold. That's why I take the hot shower so I don't freeze when I go to sleep. Maybe you need a cold shower before you go to bed.

Just a thought.

Having another person in bed with you adds a shitload of heat (that's a metric shitload; in American units, it's one and three fifths of an assload...) to the bed.

Open a window?

Even though it may not be menopause it still may have a hormonal basis. A doctor could tell you for sure. It also might be an indication of something else that would be worth checking out.

...yeah, I've never seen night-sweats represented as a good thing...
I'd consult with a doctor, also.

Genius. I choked on my water.

As for your skin being hot the past couple of nights, I'd give it more like a week or so before putting too much thought into it. You could have an infection that the body fights off well enough during the day, but not well enough at night when your body starts to slow down to go to sleep, hence the heat. This is even if you don't feel like you're running a fever, but are hot everywhere.

People fight infections constantly, but we only notice them when they give us symptoms like coughing, sneezing, etc. Give it 5-7 days from when it started, but keep in mind that the total time to rid yourself of a pathogen you've not battled before can be up to 14 days. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you start having other symptoms, start running a fever, or it lasts more than 2 weeks.

I wonder if it's related to your cold hands and feet from a few weeks ago?

Are you using different sheets?

surferlove007

I think he uses jersey sheets...I use some Ralph Lauren ones
Don't really think it should make a difference

Sharon

Oh ok - I'm just asking because I once stayed with a friend who had sheets with high polyester content and I got rashes.

the same happens to me, I basically figured it was because my metabolism picked up and I was wearing too much. Maybe the same goes for you depending on the clothes and body type.
