Too high or too low body temperatures can cause all kind of problems for the unprepared characters. You can regulate this by either wearing clothes with high warmth or removing them.
Continuous exposure to extreme temperatures can have very undesirable consequences.
Cold and sleeping
@ : I'm cold and can't sleep at night. What can I do about this?
Gather some clothes that provide particularly high warmth (check the clothing page for that) and put them in the place you use to sleep in (or carry them with you if you're a nomad). Put the extra clothes on before going to sleep. You can also pile them up on the place you're going to sleep. Take them off when you wake up.
Check the warmth level of all your body parts in your character screen (@). If all of them are green then you'll likely be able to sleep without problems, unless a sudden drop in temperature occurs while sleeping.
Sleeping inside, and on a suitable piece of furniture can also help.
Being hungry, thirsty, wet, or having broken limbs can also make you feel the cold more, so try to avoid these effects before you go to sleep.
