Actually I was saying to rider longer in order to tire yourself out so it is easier to fall asleep.

Part of the problem is that I still sweat a lot in an effort to ride hard to stay warm, and that sweat begins to accumulate and can get cold. Presumably, there is an appropriate combination of moisture wicking layers and wind breaking materials, but I have yet to find anything that works well for prolonged intermediate exertion.
