I have noticed since December that when I sleep and my hands and feet are covered by a blanket, they get extremely hot. So hot that it wakes me out of my sleep. I have to intentionally make sure that my hands and feet aren’t covered throughout the night because the sensation is unbearable. I have to get up in the middle of the night just to run them under cold water.
