[pct-l] Sleeping Bag - For Hot Sleeper

[giniajim]

I've seen recommendations that folks do some exercise to warm up before turning in, even a few jumping jacks.  Or you could take a liter of hot water into the sleeping bag with you.  I tend to oscillate during the night between cold and hot.  I just live with it, taking gloves and balaclavas off and on.

  Even regular mummy bags can be used as a quilt by unzipping it all
  the way and laying the bag on top of you rather than around you.

  Depending on the weather I can start the night out just using my
  silk bag liner, add the down bag in 'quilt-mode' later in the night
  and in the very early morning, when it is often the coldest, climb
  in and zip up the bag for warmth.

  I also find that wearing a fleece or wool hat to bed really
  helps to get me warmed up on those cool nights.
