I have the same issues with my temperature control. It even gets worse when I get any kind of infection, then the swings really get bad. The best thing for me has been my ceiling fan with a remote control that I had installed in almost every room when they built the house in 2003. You can do the same with a floor fan from Walmart with the remote control. I keep that remote on my nightstand and use it several times during some nights. The fan is also great for drying your body after a sponge bath in the bed. I wouldn't do without it.........Cody in Austin
