In a real emergency they suggest making a tent like structure in one room such as blankets over a table to minimize the amount of air space needed to heat. Fall sailing I find that wearing a hat and wool socks to bed goes a long way to keeping warm. Be careful of hypothermia even in your testing. You may not actually be aware of how your body is reacting to the test. Stay safe.
