Sounds like poor circulation. When I go to bed at night, I take a bean bag tube that has been heated in the microwave stuffed into a fleece pillowcase. The pillowcase thing is only half a pillowcase, just enough to get my feet in and a little of my legs. After the bed is warmed, I can kick that thing out of bed if I feel so inclined.
Another trick is vapoizing chest rub. Several different brands are available. I have Vicks and Walgreens. I put it on the bottoms of my feet. I never had a cold all winter last year. Someone told me about this, and I think it works.
