Hi. I am a 32 year old man. I do believe it has to do with sleep. I also had a frostbite when I was 3 or 4. My mother told me that my ears got hot since they were frostbite. The biggest problem to me is that I can't have quality sleep at all with my ears this hot. I have to sprinkle water on them to cool them down then I can start feeling much better until my ears boil up the moist.
I just thought of something- I seem to recall I had some frostbite on my ears when I was around 4. (Living in Wisconsin, you're bound to get a little frostbite here and there, especially kids playing in snow.) It wasn't severe frostbite at all, but maybe that's when this started. I can't say for sure. So maybe there's some vascular injury and it flares up when I'm tired, for some reason.
