Tampa, FL

I live in fl, i really need to know if anyone else out there wakes up gasping for air like they're drowning in a pool of their own sweat in a 60 degree room. I can never be temperature comfortable, either hot or cold no in between, and when i sleep i feel like i wake up drowning in my own sweat, not from any seizure activity but temperature body regulation alone. I NEED to know if this happens to anyone else out there with pur problems

I don't wake up gasping for air, but I wake up soaked in sweat. I hate it because it makes me cold. Mine is definitely hormonal.
