A lot of heat loss would occur if sleeping on the ground. Insulation needs to be between the person and the ground. The insulation could be an air-bed or a sleeping mat, both often used when camping.

Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?

No, heat will not move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground. Conduction involves heat transfer from a warmer object to a cooler object, so in this case, heat will not flow from the ground to the already warmer air.

When animals sleep through the winter how do they eat?

Animals that hibernate, such as bears and ground squirrels, do not eat during their winter sleep; instead, they rely on fat reserves accumulated during the warmer months. Some animals, like certain species of rodents, may enter a state of torpor, waking occasionally to eat stored food. Other animals, such as some birds, migrate to warmer areas where food is available. Overall, true hibernators do not eat at all during their prolonged sleep.
