I swear by a tip I got a few years ago when we used to tent camp. An hour or 2 before going to bed put your jammies on under your clothes (i've been known to do this as early as 6 pm lol). When bedtime comes you just take off outer layers and dive into bed and your PJ's are already heated up. Dont forget the bedsocks.
Earliest for me was 16:30 (already dark)... hot shower (with underfloor heating!) short shorts and tee shirt (They're the PJ's that stay on), then all the outer layers and thermal socks for sitting around in front of the fan heater. Half a book, and half a bottle of Aldi's "Baileys" later, it was wellies on, stroll through the snow (on the ground, not falling) to the heated toilets, (more to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, as we have a bucket in the tent), stroll back, strip off all the outer layers, including socks, turn off fan heater, and leap into my fleece lined "5 season" fishing bag.
Cosiest and most satisfying nights sleep I have ever had!
That nights footprints were still there next morning, alongside my freshly made ones...
