My understanding is that body temperature generally rises over the course of the day, then drops while you are sleeping. So it is not surprising you would wake up with a temperature as low as 99 and still feel sick: the 99 is misleadingly low. If you were well, you might wake up and find your temperature is, I dunno, 96.
