Have little or no clothing on, but much insulation underneath and over you.
- Sleeping in clothing will hold moisture, which, in cold climates, chills the body. For this reason, the Inuit and other peoples who built or lived in all snow igloos generally slept completely naked.
- Contrary to popular belief; you will not freeze to death in your sleep; cold awakens you unless you are very tired or drunk. Drinking alcohol -hot or cold-will not warm you up but in fact will bring more blood and heat to the skin surface. The heat is then dissipated or radiated off, chilling the body.
