Same problem here. Always cold at first, then wake up smothering. Sometimes I can't tell if I am cold or too hot. Cover on is too hot, cover off is cold. Then it gets hard to breathe and I have to get up. It happened to me this morning and I still feel like manure...weak, headache, lifeless, groggy. God I despise quad life.
