overwintering Hardening/Wintering?

[jolokia_jas]

Just read this:
http://www.gardenguides.com/3024-bracing-up-hardening-off-transplants.html
And I also watched a couple of clips from this page as well and it brought to my attention that not only should I be hardening off seedlings for the outside climate, but I should also do the opposite when wintering my chillies. Does anybody actually do this? Or is it not really required?

So can anyone answer this for me please???

For bringing them in, I just do it, with out fussing over a transition period. If you bring in a full size plant without cutting it back, there is a good chance it may drop its leaves, but don't worry as they will soon bounce back in their new environment. So as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't worry about trying to acclimate them to an indoor environment.

I cut back my overwintered plants and let them go semi-dormant in a coolish indoor environment without any acclimatizing
