# If it’s cold outside, many have the practice not to sleep in the [[Sukkah]] and some poskim defend this practice. However, many poskim hold that one should make an extra effort to sleep in the [[Sukkah]] (either by making a insulated [[Sukkah]], by bringing in heaters, or by toughing it out). <Ref> Rama 639:2 defends the practice of those who are lenient in not [[sleeping in the Sukkah]] saying that where it's too cold it's painful to sleep there and so one may sleep outside the [[Sukkah]]. Mishna Brurah 639:17 comments that this is so if one doesn't have proper pillows and blankets to keep one warm (implying that if one has proper coats and blankets one should sleep in the [[Sukkah]].)[see Nemukei Orach Chaim 639:1 who discusses this at length.] Chazon Ovadyah pg 195 rules like the Rama. </ref>
