My brother-in-law said the heat on their side is at 70, but, other than no wind, I can't tell a whole lot of difference between my place and outside. The weather app says it's 39 and feels like 37.

The insulation in here is horrible.

I have a space heater and heated blanket and I'm still freezing at night.

Right now, I'm in winter socks, sweats, and a wool jacket and I'm pretty damn cold.

Anyone know any tricks to help keep my place warm?

Check the insulation (calking) around the windows.  Make sure there are no leaks.  

In college we'd cover the windows with thick opaque plastic due to the single pane window leaking into the apartment.  You know - the mafia murder plastic that comes in a big roll.
