Last year I bought a down sleeping bag
It was too warm to wear a t-shirt but without a top on the inside of the bag was clammy and sticking to my skin
Would a liner help?
Silk is light but I wondered if that would be sticky like the polyester of the sleeping bag
How about cotton?
I noticed Scottish silkworm do a 100% silk version and a light weight synthetic
If it's too warm in the bag, a liner will make it even warmer. I have a silk liner for a Rab bag, it's not sticky and adds some useful warmth if needed. Sleeping bag liners are OK but if you move around a lot like I do they end up bunched up or sliding to the bottom of the bag.
i like silk but there is thai silk and chinese silk, and different weights
I prefer chinese silk for sleep
id suggest a thinner cotton tshirt, or maybe synthetic top that your comfortable with
Cotton sleeping bag liner for me.
Unzip bag and use as duvet.

2nd this. Much more comfortable unless it's really cold.
I sleep in merino baselayers, partly for this reason. I find it's less sweaty, less smelly & dirty on my bag, and in use is easier to unzip and be half out the bag if needed. I keep a fleece to hand to put on or throw over my torso if needed.
I tend to buy bags that are only just warm enough...
The biggest breakthrough for me was buying a bag that was wider, had an odd arrangement of big front zip and a foot 'hole' in the bottom. It's luxuriously spacious and easy to cool off in, or button up for warmth.
