List is incomplete. It seems to assume a relatively warm climate or expensive use of night-time home heating.
Thus: Long sleeves. Underwear under long trousers perhaps for sanitary purposes, but possibly for comfort.
There’s probably also a few people who have socks they wear to bed if not also blindfolds or old-timey nightcaps, but I get why those things aren’t in this graphic. Lack of long sleeves is more of a head-scratcher.
Solution: more blankets. Where I grew up we had regular frosts all through winter, but I never really went with anything more than 18. 2-3 blankets and a thick duvet does a lot for keeping you warm.
More blankets don’t help the moment you get out of bed in the morning. The apartment was unheated for much of the winter during my teenage years, so I usually wore two pairs of thick woolen socks and thick woolen PJs (along with a thick duvet and several blankets) so I wouldn’t freeze to death the moment I got out of bed. The period between rushing out of bed and into an 8 ply woolen bathrobe was still painful though.
