I think they are "trauma chills". I sleep with a heating pad and if I wake up with the chills, I have a blow dryer next to my bed and I blow the hot air on my legs and body until the chills ease up and I can go back to sleep.
Are you sure you're not sweating from sleeping with a heating pad and then having cold chills afterwards?I get night sweats and then have cold chills afterwards(menopause). I get hotflashes too during the day and then chills afterwards.It probably happens more often when I've been triggered but I don't consider it trauma related,just getting older.
