Silk sleeping bag liner and light sleeping bag - just pull the sleeping bag up or down, depending on temp. Harder in a bivi bag then tent, admittedly.
This assumes you're not asking about sleeping at home......

I've done bivvy bag only when it's been like this - I still use a mat (as I'm old) but I slept OK. That said, apocalyptic downpours are incoming round here for the next day or two so I'd still have the Deschutes up.

Slept in a tent in the garden with my 3 year old last night. Started off just in shorts, on top of my sleeping mat. As the night progressed I put on a long sleeve top, then swapped my shorts for trousers and eventually in the early morning got into a lightweight sleeping bag.

Starting off in anything but shorts was much too warm, but the temperature dropped off enough that this was too little to make it through.

A bug net (MSR Mesh house Thru Hiker or equivalent) and optional quilt has worked for me on warm dry nights :grin:

Very light sleeping bag and an Audax hotel worked well for me. No mat on a concrete floor wasn't too bad.
