Xringer another place to pay attention to in the attic is where the plumbing pipes come through, plug the gaps around them with foam or tightly wrapped insulation.
newer set back thermostats start heating the house before the time they are set for, ie if you wanted it 70 degrees at 6 am, the thermostat would turn on two minutes earlier for each degree of set back, and with some of the top of the line set back thermostats they learn your system and every three days they adjust to the conditions.
now these are the thermostats i buy from a heating and air conditioning supply house, if you go to a home store you should read the boxes and see if those features are available.
one other note in your attic if you add insulation make sure you put in shoots so you dont block off your eave vents. good ventilation keeps the ice off your roof
