Smooth but makes your insides feel warm when it hits the stomach.

I don't think that's true. It's not like the liquid is ambient temp and you have to raise it, it's liquid already at temp and you have to maintain it, which is insignificant because liquid holds heat well enough not to be significant. Your body is a (internal) temperature and it's the outside temp it's working against, not (significantly) the internal organs or liquid. The amount of blood is much more significant than what is in your bladder. My opinion anyway....

- Donāt drink a bunch of water before bed. Your body will use up its own heat to keep everything in your bladder heated up to roughly 98 degrees F. Iām not advocating dehydration - but rather, slight under-hydration, and only at night. This approach will also reduce perspiration, as well as your need to urinate in the middle of the night.
- Corollary to bullet point above: If you do need to urinate, just get up and do it, rather than worrying about how cold it is outside of your sleeping bag. By getting up, you will have successfully vented your sleeping bag, maybe your tent, and emptied your bladder of all that water that your body was heating up. Once you get back tucked in your bag, youāll see an improvement.
Did you have lots of condensation/ice on the windows in the morning? Ive tried this a couple times and woke up with ice on the inside even with the window slightly cracked, not sure how to avoid this!Iāve done camping in snow this winter. I sleep in the jeep with a foam mattress, a very thick sleeping bag, fuzzy blanket as a liner, toque, and well dressed for bed. Yes, my sleeping gear is bulky, but a good nights sleep is worth every inch of space. Iāll also cheat a little and run the remote start of it gets really bad. But between me and the dog, itās pretty cozy in there. My absolute favourite way to sleep, wouldnāt want the hassles of an RTT and diesel heater
Condensation is going to happen, even if you crack a window. I set up the temp control to be on recirculating/AC/heat to help dry out the air, and keep a cloth handy for wiping the inside of the windows.Did you have lots of condensation/ice on the windows in the morning?
