Actually, you can burn a lot of energy sleeping cold. I am a mechanical engineering student and I was just doing this for my own interests: making a lot of broad generalizations, you can burn like 200 calories an hour just sleeping with no blanket in room temperature. The actual amount could be more or less than this. But this amounts to 2000 calories for a 10 hour night which is like .6 pounds.
When I was in highschool my Wrestling coaches told me this trick, but my parents said it wouldn't work. I tried it and it seemed like it worked.. I thought I lost an extra pound a night doing it. And now its turning out that it actually does takes a good amount of energy to keep your body warm, especially when you're not well insulated.
The only drawback is it might not be a particularly HEALTHY idea. We all had our moms tell us to bundle up or we'll get sick.. I don't think science has proven or dis-proven this yet, but maybe burning all that energy when your supposed to be resting is taxing on your system?
Sleeping hot seems like it might be a good idea, but the only problem is you will only loose water weight by sweating yourself all night, then you'll just be dehydrated unless you drink it all back the next day.

Do people sleep better when it's cold?
I was told by my doctor that sometime sleeping better when it is colder could be a sign of early heart problems, but in order for that to be true in a persons case they would have to have other symptoms, such as swelling in the feet and legs, sleeping slanted having severe heartburn which can be mistaken for angina. Some people sleep better when it is cold because their body temperature is higher then others, when they are sleeping. Most people that are obsess also sleep better when it is colder. I have noticed that when I sleep I have the window open and my fan going even when it snows but at times I will cover up but I breathe better when it is colder. I was even checked for sleep apnea at one point.
