It's probably not a problem for you in an apartment, but down here we seem to have a lot of amateur satellite/cable/telephone/whathaveyou installers, who drill holes everywhere to run cable, but forget to plug them up properly. A couple of years ago, it was always nasty cold in my bedroom. Couldn't figure out why until one blustery day I felt a breeze coming in from under the bed. Some guy had drilled an abnormally large hole for his little cable connection and left it open.
Anyway.. Lots of plastic, weather stripping, plug the holes and get a good space heater for the mornings. My mother swears by blankets on unused doors and ceiling fans. She says it circulates the warm air instead of letting it congregate and escaping through the ceiling. So, maybe a small oscillating fan set up high?
I've also read that about keeping the temperature settings constant rather than turning it on and off. Can't remember where.....?
