It is very likely that your thermostat is located in that little hallway so is the main air return. In the process of sucking air, all of the heat in the main part of the house has to pass by the thermostat. So, the thermostat says, "oops, I'm warm enough" and shuts off the heat. Meanwhile, your bedroom is isolated and the thermostat doesn't know or care that there's not enough heat in there.

You're suppose to make you own heat.
