Staying cool at night

I’ve always gotten hot during the night when I sleep.

I would fall asleep very comfortably and cool, wrapped up in a soft fuzzy blanket.

But, for some reason I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat around my neck, chest, and head. I used to think maybe my HVAC system was shutting off during the night when I’m asleep. But once I found out that it was running like it was supposed to. Since I was able to rule that out, I read somewhere that turning down my AC system’s temperature a few degrees lower can help people sleep better. So, I thought I’d give it a try and a few nights ago, I turned the thermostat temperature to 68 instead of the normal 73 I kept it on during previous nights. This did help me sleep a little more comfortably, but I still have some nights where I’m still waking up hot and sweaty. We just bought a memory foam mattress and these cooling pillows for the bed. I have seen quite a difference in my comfort since purchasing these. I also have a cooling towel that I can use if I get too hot. I’m sure if things get worse, I’ll have to look into some other solutions that won’t require me to spend more money. Between the increased energy costs of the AC running more often and buying all sorts of stuff to help me stay cool such as the mattress, pillows, towels, and lighter blankets, I’m going broke..Possibly, it could have something to do with me, and not a result from my environment. I should look into this. I would love to just have one good night of sleep.
