| Feb 11, 2017 at 22:15 | comment | added | Philip Oakley | If you need the toilet (to urinate) during the night you will feel a bit cold either during the night or in the morning. Drinking the extra bit of hot fluids before bed can make it worse. (Ageing also has the same effects so learn tricks that the old timers use ;-) In addition, ensure your hands and head are inside the bag, that any zips are fully closed, and neck seals drawn closed. Anything that allows air exchange from inside to outside will lose your heat quickly. | |

| Feb 10, 2017 at 8:25 | comment | added | Vidar S. Ramdal | @dougal2.0.0 I do get my blood pressure checked every year, and it has always been within the recommended range (but maybe a little on the low side). I don't suffer from any condition that I know of. | |
| Feb 10, 2017 at 5:54 | comment | added | dougal 5.0.0 | When was the last time you had your blood pressure taken? I know that I personally have very low b/p 90/60. When I lie down it then goes even lower, my extremities, including legs etc then get v.cold. Solution - don't lie down! If possible use a hot water bottle, they are cheap, re-usable and lite to carry. Also, do you suffer from any type of arthritis? | |

| Feb 8, 2017 at 21:33 | comment | added | handyman | Popular army trick that, to put clothes inside the bag. Maybe you need a 4 season bag?. We have the same trouble and at 0°C you're getting pretty close to the -2 comfort limit. The Lim and Ext numbers are always ridiculous in my experience. | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 19:57 | comment | added | Eric Uldall | Have you tried sleeping naked? I usually feel warmer in my bag with no clothes on. Granted I run hot in general, which does not seem to be the case for you. If you shove your clothes to the bottom of the bag by your feet at night you get the added bonus of warm clothes in the morning too! | |
