Please Help Me Sleep

I moved house recently from a well insulated house with very reliable gas central heating to an old, unreliable, works when it wants to oil boiler
& poorly insulated house. Doing the oil to gas conversion in January, along with some other insulating items.

Before I moved, I slept with a 4.5 tog duvet all year round. I don’t like wearing pyjama bottoms so wore a tee with light shorts.

The last week as it’s got cooler, I found myself cold in bed. I got an oil radiator to try and take the chill off the air. After this, I started by adding an extra thin fleece blanket, still cold, started wearing pyjama bottoms, still cold, added a hot water bottle, still cold so upgraded to a 10.5 tog duvet. Now, even with no blanket / pyjama bottoms and no hot water bottle, the thicker duvet is just far too warm to fall asleep in.

Can anyone suggest an alternative to find a happy medium? Anything at all greatly appreciated!!
