What Could Intense Internal Upper Body Heat When Sleeping Indicate?

When I sleep I get very hot. I don t sweat but feel immense internal heat and have to wake up. Heat is usually upper body - face, under arms, upper part of body, back of head and sometimes feet and previously hands. If I get up and walk around, then the heat usually goes away. I am so hot my wife has to move! I am 47.
