obvious question, but you haven't just got too many blankets on?
HRT maybe?
Use the lightest of quilts and add a couple of snug blankets if you need them which you can throw them off during the night.

Also try Black Cohosh which receives 5/5 from users who tried it for relief from hot flushes.

didn't find that black cohosh worked for me. What did work was going over to natural fibre bedding and nightwear, using layers so you can throw them off or pull them over you, keeping the bedroom cool and swearing.
Would suggest finding out what is causing the problem........thyroid studies, chest X Ray and hormone studies.
Nothing worked to alleviate my night sweats except HRT. I've been on it for a month now and the improvement is huge! My hot flushes have almost gone too :)
If your cheeks have bright pink patches which you never used to have, get tested for TB.
I was on HRT for about ten years, it worked wonders with no side effects, if you are menapausal it's the answer
