After clothing yourself, you are prone to loose heat from other open surfaces. Wearing hat shall prevent you loosing heat from head and keep the body warm.

Turn on the ceiling fan

Warm air moves to the ceiling. Run your fan on its lowest setting in a clockwise direction to
push the warm air back down to where you can feel it.

Your window in warmer clothes

If you're not wearing a tank top or going sleeveless, your windows shouldn't, either. Replace thin curtains with heavier wool or fleece drapes in the winter. But be sure to open them on sunny days for free heat.

Start Composting

If you already pick interest in composting, here's another reason to do it: The microbial breakdown of organic material produces heat. Some people use it to warm up showers and greenhouses, but even small-timers in studio apartments can feel a difference.

Layer your cover with the thinnest and densest one on top

It's intuitive, but fluffy blankets should be
closer to your skin. Thin, dense blankets should be on top to prevent convective heat loss.

Have this bonus:
Don't put your bed directly against an exterior wall. You'll be warmer if you leave a little space.
