When that happens, I've found sleeping on a towel and wearing a T-shirt helps: wake up in sweat, change towel and T-shirt (keep a ready supply next to bed), and go right back to sleep.

Yep I have been doing just that. Towel under my head and a t-shirt. Hopefully this week it will be sorted though.

Some of the cocktails I had in the Army were pretty good. I found Typhoid and tetanus shots produced the most interesting results. The shakes and sweats with mild dizziness. Especially nice with a run involved to activate things. Being in an operational unit for much of my career I was shot up with everything known to man. This stuff though I would have though would not produce those sort of results. Maybe I just got a virus on top of the vaccine (probably just a reaction though).
