I get cold in bed also. I don't get too warm until the morning hours. I just chalked it up to my thermostat not working after changing positions from up to down. I would think everybody's legs would be tight after sitting in a chair all day? I usually get cold after I get up also for a while and also sometimes when I tilt back if I'm watching TV..

Thanks Greg, hhmmmm? I sort of assume AD but thought maybe backpain is the cause. I tend to get headache with pain spots and pressure areas?

Maybe laying flat is causing a strain somewhere. Are your legs getting tight, heal got a sore?
