A fresh pair of socks is good if you have a window in the sleeper berth by your feet.

i have a set of flanel sheets for the winter and a 0-20 degree sleeping bag i use as the blanket. i can sleep in 30 degree weather with the truck off with no problem.

In fact, I got written up for it a couple months ago.
After nearly 2 years of 'over-idling', I finally got it on paper.
I don't worry about it though.
My MPG is always where it should be, and my safety rating is through the floor. (-12, and you can't get much better)
I even got the Christmas bonus for doing such a good job.
I finally have a truck with a bunk heater that works properly, but my idle time will still be high this month.
4 days sitting for a b-service in very cold temps, and a few nights of single digit temps - I had to idle just to keep the batteries up and to keep the fuel from gelling.
But they don't seem to take those factors into consideration.
It is just the figures that pop up, at the end of the month. -
my main concern was if truck broke down, i do not want to freeze! I picked up a mummy bag 0-20 f degrees bag at Walmart for 50.00.
thanx guys -
The best time to pick up a good bag cheap is at the end of winter.
