what everyone else said. we're all electric heat here, and my 1900sq/ft house has pretty weak insulation despite being 10 yrs old. when it snapped down to 17 degrees overnight here a few days ago our heat pump couldn't keep the house above 66 degrees at night even with auxilliary heat engaged. we keep the house at 68 this time of year, which helps. if we dropped down to 10 or less i wonder how cold our house would have gotten.
check your door seals, keep your blinds closed (air barrier) and shut vents/doors to rooms you aren't using and direct as much heat as you can to where you really spend your time so you don't need to run it as much. Try keeping your place at 70 or below if you can deal with it.
are you a lower or upper floor apt? this time of year if you're low in the building you're sending half your heat up to your neighbor's floor no matter what you do. been there done that.
