Light fleece gloves are nice to keep hands warm. and sleep in a hat as they say you lose half of your heat through your head.

I must be weird. I have tried sleeping in fleece and other materials but I sweat like crazy if I do. I dont wear ANY cotton except my dickies which are 66%poly 33% cotton. The T-shirt is a full sythetic.

I normally use a sleeping pad but the pine bed was a sort of dare. I will try the gloves out if I go on a colder night, thanks. I wore my fleece hat while I slept too.
