At night you wear warm pijamas and use an electric heating pad or blanket, a hot water bottle, or your spouse :)

Yes, I imagine it's possible for humans to survive inclement weather with loads of technology like clothing. ;) Clothing is one of mankind's greatest inventions after all. Even if there's some evidence that the preceding species may have had very simple forms of it.
That's one of the reasons why I'm glad my metabolism went through the floor. It's so much easier to just add another layer of clothing than it is to always take one off when already near nude. Though I admit it's not so easy to type with gloves on.

As to warming partners, I believe that's one reason certain breeds of dog were created. Cheap constant bed warmers that won't burn or risk fires like dry tech devices would.
