Sleeping on the Mountain - Advice

I am going to do my first alpine climb where an overnight stay is required. We're planning on staying in a hut at about 3000m before doing the summit.

I am assume that if it is about -5c at 1000m then at 3k it will be more like -15c.

I have a 5 season synthetic bag (4 season + or whatever you want to call it) but does anyone have any advice here? I feel that even with a good bag, that it is going to get seriously cold. I won't be taking a duvet jacket up since it will be March and far to warm in the day to need one.

Any advice appreciated. Ideally i don't want to carry two sleeping bags up with me :)
