 My nighttime hot flashes/night sweats have kicked into overdrive this summer. What do I sleep in during the winter? I typically run cold in the winter. Is there any way around waking up and taking all my clothes off to sweat and then freezing my butt off when it's over?

I think it's okay to sleep nude with just a sheet in the warmer months. Sweat will evaporate more easily on cotton sheets than on most PJs. I bought a "cooling cover" from Costco that doesn't actually refrigerate you but it is mildly cooling. I tell folks I've been hot since menopause since wearing anything with sleeves is pretty much unbearable unless it's actually winter.
