At last - a problem that's easy to fix, with a Paleo solution!

Get rid of your doona/quilt, replace it with sheet and blankets, 
turn down your air conditioning (doonas and air-conditioning 
are non-paleo, of course) and sleep cool at night; especially 
allow your legs to stay cool.

For all the details see:

"Skin Fitness: Safe and healthy skin care" by Hugh Molloy
and Garry Egger. (Allen and Unwin, 2008).

It's not explicitly a palaeo book, but that's how it works
out.
