Hi, ive also been on tamoxifen for 6 months now, my hot flushes were also very frequent, even at night so invested in something called a 'chillow' it goes inside your pillow case and keeps you head cool at night. I could cope with the day flushes but i hadnt had a decent sleep for about 3 months which is why i bought one. The chillow worked for me for about a month and then i decided that i couldnt go on like this so the nurses at my chemo suite gave me Amiltryptaline to take at night. It works as its got a sedative in it so im my case, i still wake up a few times in the night due to hot flushes but i go straight back to sleep again! Hope this helps
