Lots of good info given here.
I agree that we lay there a long time on a Winter night and the body gets depleted during that rip-van-lay.
Eat well before sleep.
As I get up to pee in the night I add my down jacket around 4am so that I am dressed for breakfast from the hammock but also warmed in the early hours.
Occasionally I eat a candy bar in the middle of the night in deep winter when below 0ºF.
If I get a chill I have often called it a phantom chill. Usually on my chest upper torso region.
Sometimes it is easy to keep a jacket or vest in your rig and I often slip it on backwards so the back of the jacket is laying on my chest. Easy to do that without having to get up...slide arms through sleeves as you slip the down jacket on backwards.
