For something that will be semi-permanent, you may want to consider OSB sheathing with a 2x4 frame. I have a shed built from 7/16 OSB and 2x4s and insulated with Prodex (www.Insulation4Less.com). I've used it for a milk barn for about 18 months and it's worked great. I use a small "indoor-safe" Little Buddy propane heater, and it warms up the inside pretty quickly. Here are some photos: http://yurtbuilder.blogspot.com/2012/03/osb-hexayurt-aka-milk-barn.html
If you just need a place to sleep vs a full blown living space, you might want to try a smaller version - either 4 foot sides or the smaller stretch version. I'm working on a small version with 4 foot sides for a winter campout next month - if you want more details, let me know.
