I assume you've tried cooling the room down - is the temp difference between
the rest of your body and your feet significant? what are your feet like
during the day?
I did a little research and it seems hot feet are commonly a symptom of RLS
or PLMS - you say you don't have RLS - how did you come to this conclusion?
It's my understanding that the person suffering is not ALWAYS aware that
they have RLS until they have a sleep study.
