Been thinking about this for awhile and it seems that my personal experiences have been quite different from other's on here.
I've seen mentioned where guys will 'layer up' inside their sleeping bags to add some additional warmth to their sleep system for the night. For myself, the only layers I wear to bed are my merino base layers. It seems that anything more than that, and I actually get much colder. By only wearing my base layers when it gets cold, I am able to heat the inside air of my sleeping bag and the base layers don't inhibit me taking advantage of that warm pocket of body heat. On a few different occasions, I've layered real heavy on cold nights and have had to wake up and shed some layers to actually get my body warm...
If I indeed think it's going to get colder than my bag's rating, I'll wear my base layers, and try to add any extra jackets or clothing on top of my bag to act as another blanket and this has worked the best for myself in the past.
Anybody with similar experience?
