Yeah. I found that if I covered myself from head to toe, especially my head, then the sleeping bag or blanket I had would contain the heat escaping my body through my breath and that would keep me plenty warm most nights
Your head and feet are where you lose the most heat - followed by your hands, but we usually have at least our feet covered and, in this case, hopefully wore a hat. So, that'd leave your hands to get cold and radiate heat away from your body.
Yeah I slept with a hat and boots on when it was really cold. It didn't take me long to come up with enough money for a place, that was motivating
Yeah, most homeless aren't habitually homeless. Most are only homeless for six months or less, with less than a month being more common.
(As I recall from reading about the problem.)
