We talked about this before, and you said that heat makes you anxious. I used to get these attacks that would wake me from a sound sleep (even on Xanax, because the med only lasts four hours for me, and then I'd be up like a shot!), and the only thing that ever helped was taking a hot bath and reading a book. Oh, hugging helps, but I don't know if that's an option. Try putting something very heavy on your legs or wrap them up in sheets if you are shaking.
I have put a mattress on top of me before--a feather bed, actually. That works.
Maybe you could do a cold bath?
