You will be losing the warmest air heating the vaulted space to begin with. Air stagnates when there is no airflow. There is always some, of course, due to the heat rising and the cooler air descending. Stagnant air is refreshed by air incoming to your woodstove, which uses Oxygen in it's combustion. Since fresh air is coming into your home, somehow, in order to feed fresh Oxygen to the fire, I would suggest opening a window a crack somewhere that you don't mind it cooler. In the case of my place, my bedroom window is open a crack, since I like my sleeping area cool. This way you are not venting the warmest air from the house, gain the oxygen you need, and get a more optimum temp for sleep.
