Updated with sources. It ain't a double-blind, randomized trial but hey, it's something.

It feels awesome when you get out of the shower, you're whole body feels so nice and warm as the blood rushes to your skin. Day #8

sydney really doesn't get too cold
It's below zero when I wake up on Thursdays and Fridays.

It's not that cold. I'm in Melbourne and its not that cold.

Thermals are good if you must.
Melbourne is closer to the water than where I live, so your argument is stupid.

Where are you?

I must drive ~1 1/2hrs or more to hit water.

It's bloody cold in Melbourne when you're used to the Gold Coast.

If there's no time for breakfast during the cold Australian mornings (when running late for a bus), my best bet is just to down some tea.
I find that the warm water kind of soothes the throat and warms the stomach, and I also don't feel the need to eat like a maniac until recess.

Tea is also good for studying at night too. I mean I could offer generic advice like wrapping up and turning on a heater during freezing Sydney nights/days, but I find tea really works best for me.

I get cold very very easily so at school I wear my long sleeve pyjama shirt/or thermals, my school t-shirt, my jumper, my jersey and my blazer.

I am terrible at studying in winter though. I have been sleeping really early. My heater at home has been dead (It stopped working on the first of JUne, go figure) and the only warm place is my bed with my electric blanket so instead of studying... I fall asleep.

Thermal underwear.
TBH I don't wear them but mum used to make me when I was little, I've never been able to retain heat very well.
You can get them in like full sleeve tops to wear under your shirt, and you can buy them in these pants things to wear under your actual pants.
They're made out of wool =)

I'm in about the same situation but in like a flood plane so it gets really foggy and cold. :cold:

The best ones are synthetic.

They don't retain water (gross)

Ahh, I wouldn't know about synthetic ones, synthetic materials tend to irritate my skin condition.

During recess, you should take a jog around the oval or something. XD
