I'm with Angie on all points.  My freezing-temp technique is to set  
two alarms, get up at the first, fire up the heater, then snuggle in  
bed a little longer until the place heats up.

I did go to the trouble of installing foamboard insulation with tight  
fitting seams under my gooseneck's bed in the overhang and that small  
step has made a big difference.
