Slowing your body's metabolism by cooling would also (one could assume) slow your perception and thought processes proportionally.

Your lifespan will feel the same either way, and your reactions may be dulled a little.

How would this work? Should you try to keep warm (thus allowing your body to slack off on its warming mechanism)? Because it seems to me that if you exposed yourself to lower room temperatures, your body would respond by revving up the heat.

So button up that sweater, and don't eat so much "fuel" -- is that about right?
