so showering before bed is a lousy solution for me. However, I do use cold packs--the soft refreezable Ace cold compress type are the best. I actually use Walgreens brand. Some nights, I go through three of them, as my body temperature can be quite erratic, and my husband likes the bedroom warmer than I do. I often wake up several times per night because my temperature has gone up or the room has become too hot for me. I get up, trot to the kitchen, grab a cold pack and deposit one that's warmed up, and go back to bed, plop a cold pack on my skull, and am usually back to sleep within 10 minutes. They're invaluable for middle-of-the-night migraines as well, although I get fewer of those now that I control my temperature, I find.
