Cold Fact #1
It can actually be too cold to sleep.
I couldn't figure how to work the heater in my room and decided to just jump under the fleece covers and hope for the best. Apparently, the best wasn't good enough because I developed a hyperawareness of the cold in my sleep. I dreamt of being cold, dreamt that everyone in the dream was cold. I also dreamt we were all travelling. I think that latter part came from the great amount of travelling we've been doing the last week or so.
So, I didn't sleep because it was too cold. Got up at 6 in the morning, got the heater turned up, grabbed the fleece blanket from the other bed and sandwiched myself between them. Then I got proper sleep for about 3 hours before I had to get up.
It's slightly warmer now that sun's out. It's only -15 degrees celsius.

Yeah, woman, don't forget to eat --- and I don't just mean a salad, either ;)
The other solution, of course, would be to figure out how to work your heater. Canada is a First World country, after all (and one of the more enlightened ones, at that). Even in Vietnam last January, we didn't freeze our toesies off in any of our hotels.
