Cold nights are no fun. its the kind of thing that you never forget.

You are guaranteed to have misery for company if you *forget* your sleeping bag. Been there, done that. If things get super cold, there may be no choice except to get on your feet and walk around.

i have tried making hot rocks in a campfire and burying them in the soil under the place where you sleep. its one of those textbook ideas that sounds good, but practically is quite difficult. It seems to happen that the rocks are too shallow, in which case they burn your clothes, or they are too deep and they only give a little warmth.

It is possible, as others have suggested, that if you pile the rocks near the entrance to your tent, then use a reflective blanket to focus heat to your bed, maybe that would be better. Try it out!!
