I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?
Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?
Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?
70F, all year round. Cuz that’s basically the perfect “room temperature.”
I try to keep between 68 F and 72 F, but uh, the thermostat’s method of measuring the actual temperature in the apartment is completely, laughably busted, so… hot days it goes on 62, cold days it goes on 84.
Why would I care what temperature it is when I’m sleeping? I’m asleep.
That aside, 60 winter and 73 summer.
How well do you think you would sleep at 350°?
Probably about forty minutes then baste and tent with foil and put back in for another forty.
71 in winter
70 in summer
18 c - 23 c.

20°C, 18°C at night and when awayDuring the warm season
23°C, 25°C when away20.5 in winter and 21.5 in the summer.
I keep it 68F(20c) downstairs, but the main house temp is regrettably 73F(22C) and I fight to keep it that low because the rest of the house is cold blooded.
72 F / 22 C in winter and 68 F / 20 C in summer. We live in a LEED Platinum building and the electric bill for our 2-bedroom apartment never goes above $50, so we set it to whatever is most comfortable.
Summer: 72-74 in the day, 68 for sleeping Winter: 65 in the day, 62 for sleeping. I love the cold
Not American so we turn the heat on when it’s cold and off when we’ve warmed up enough to save money.
78 is insane, only a few C off the highest temp ever recorded in my country.
always in the 20-24.
Off during the day and between 17 and 20 °C when sleeping depending on the season.
Usually off, but if on 18°C (291.15K).
78 during the day is fine depending on the humidity. The real trick of AC is that it brings the humidity down so if it is like 90 out and the AC is running to hit 78 then it is fine. But if it’s like 83 so the AC barely runs then 78 starts to feel sticky and unpleasant.
Multi-stage equipment helps a ton. I hate how people tack mini-splits on their homes like AutoZone hood scoops, but their dehumidifier function is awesome in the shoulder seasons.
I am seriously considering getting rid of central air and doing like a 5 zone mini split system, partially for this flexibility, but also to save space over the centralized air handler, which takes up a bunch of space in the basement of like to reclaim.
