In my experience, for both resistance against cold and resistance against heat, it can help a lot to simply build some muscle in the body. Sorry, this isn't anything glamorous or esoteric. It just involves stressing the muscles every other day or so (they need a day to heal and to build in between). Squats, pushups, situps, carrying a heavy dog upstairs, shoveling snow, that sort of thing.
In addition, in cold weather, I take a hotwater bottle into the bed. One gets placed directly over the liver.
This is my personal experience offered in response to our host's invitation to offer an answer. (I am not doctor, and so on & so forth.)
Also, a final thought: I find that "oversleeping" is, for me at least, a wriggly term since I have times when my body needs more sleep (11 hours or more) and times when it needs less sleep (6-7 hours). Of course the problem comes when the amoubt of sleep I require doesn't align with what I've got in my schedule / what other people expect from me.
The most I ever slept in my life was one winter in Iceland. The darkness was what did it to me. So there's that.
