Once the frigid SoCal winter hits, I sleep in flannel PJs on flannel sheets with an electric blanket and comforter on me. I sleep with socks AND slippers on my feet and a pair of socks on my hands (no, not gloves, socks). The central heater is set to 70 degrees (I'd set it higher, but the Boy Wonder says he'll burst into flames). I wear a scarf and gloves almost all winter (gloves with the fingers cut off while computering at work). I wouldn't last a day in a Minneapolis winter.

There is a reason you saw pictures depicting people wearing night caps to bed in olden days before central heating was invented. For sleeping, a second pillow covering the top of my head will work, too.

I'm not accusing you of repeating the "45% of heat loss is through the head" myth here, but your comment jogged my memory of having read that that was debunked a few years ago.
