    Some good advice above.

    Oftern extra clothing (rain jacket, down jacket) is better draped over your sleeping bag. If worn inside you end up compressing the the insulation and end up colder.

    Also dont go to bed cold, do some star jumps or such before climbing into bed to get the blood flowing. As mentioned above hard to warm up if you go to bed cold.

    Lastly what you have for dinner will make a difference to how warm you sleep. You want plenty of fats before you go to bed. Ideally something with cheese, olive oils etc. The metabolic process to digest these actually generates more heat. Avoid a dinner of simple carbs and sugar.
