What Could Intense Internal Upper Body Heat When Sleeping Indicate?
When I sleep I get very hot. I don t sweat but feel immense internal heat and have to wake up. Heat is usually upper body - face, under arms, upper part of body, back of head and sometimes feet and previously hands. If I get up and walk around, then the heat usually goes away. I am so hot my wife has to move! I am 47.

I could be a normal phenomenon. The temperature regulation of body is lost during deep sleep, therefore experiencing such is not uncommon. Maintaining comfortable temperature at night should help. If there is difficulty in obtaining adequate sleep, i suggest consulting a nearby psychiatrist for sleep problem can help.
