Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the evening hot, then i thought maybe I was having heat flashes or something like that. I called my healthcare worker to make an appointment to see if there was anything I could be doing to keep from waking up in the middle of the evening in a pool of my own sweat, I was starting to get grossed out. She said that I needed to make sure I was getting enough water during the afternoon and check the setting on my cooling system. She said several people come in asking about the same thing, but fix the problem when they get their cooling system set on the right temperature. I know that sounds like an simple solution and I was annoyed that I had to spend money to see the healthcare worker and for his to tell me to turn down the cooling system. I went cabin and turn the cooling system down while I went to sleep that evening, and when I woke up in the afternoon, I wasn’t tepid and I didn’t feel cold either. I thought I was one of those people that liked to sleep in warmer weather, even though I know my body thought otherwise. I am glad that I have figured out the problem and there is nothing wrong with me. I need to make sure I am always sleeping with the air conditioner on from now on or I will be waking up covered in my own sweat.
