Spring/summer = Boxers and Tshirt
Autumn = Boxers and Tshirt with warmer bag
Winter = Thermal layer or maybe softie trousers and Jumper with warm bag.
Much depends how cold it is. I always have something with me to put on if it drops cold unexpected on a night.

I'm a cold mortal 
.
Summer - T-shirt & knickers, socks if up high
Autumn - thermals, handknit wool socks, maybe a hat
Winter - thermals, troos, cashmere sweater, wool socks, over-socks, wool hat, wool gloves, maybe a wool sweater over the top. Sometimes a scarf round the nose/mouth as I've got Sjogren's syndrome and breathing cold air can set me off

Unless my clothes are damp, I sleep in everything but waterproofs and boots year round. It means I can use a less warm sleeping bag and I use the clothes that I have to their full benefit.
Even in the winter, I'll often lie in my underquilted hammock fully clothed and in a down jacket, fall asleep and wake up in the morning having not had to even use my quilt or sleeping bag.
Not for everybody, but it works for me. I sleep very warm compared to most.
For my 2 weeks in the arctic this winter, I'll be sleeping in a vapour barrier suit and thermals.

Dreadhead
Bushcrafter through and through
i used to sleep (badly) in my day clothes until i read several threads on here about the sweat in your clothes freezing and cooling the body so i started changing into a clean norgie and linen trews for sleeping in and slept toasty everytime
edit: oh and about 60ft of dreads wrapped around me

T shirt and boxers ( fresh ones) in the warm
long sleeve top and boxers ( fresh ones) and a hat in the cold
in the really cold, I sleep in doors

im a pretty cold sleeper, seems to depend on how much rum ive taken.... i think the hammock transforms the softie 12 into a B&Q sleeping bag! its that mat that makes the difference..
