I toss and turn a lot. I also get fortunately rare bursitis in my shoulders, which is brought on by chilling. At home, with a quilt over my bed, I often end up with my shoulders out of the covers, not a big deal when the room is 65*F, but it certainly would be at 35*F. The sleeping bag goes with me when I toss and turn, so when the draft collar is cinched up tight, there are no drafts down my neck or around my shoulders.

I use my unzipped bag as a quilt on warm nights, but as the temp cools down (which it always does in the mountains), I first crawl inside and then usually do up the zipper by 2-3 am.
