Hot head! I have broken my skull due to epileptic seizures, but now have a 'hot head' very annoying when trying to sleep?

I try to sleep but my head is perpetually hot, about 37 c. I can't exactly put cold cream on my head, as hot underneath my hairline as well! I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, which I have had for 52 years. I usually have night sweats, whilst sleeping, even in cold weather! Any suggestions?

Night sweats are a common MPN issue. It may be that the heat in the head is related. here is a link to a bit of info on that.

Some people find that a cooling pillow and pillow case can help. They are available through Amazon UK.

All the best my friend.

Thanks hunter having a problem with pillows at present, extra pillows needed for fragile chest🙄 but you are right I usually find cool pillows just before sleep a great relief! Probably due to head injury my head is always hot, thus trying to sleep, hot, not a great start!
