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?

    I acclimate to to the heat. I’ve lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.

    Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.

    Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F

      With humidity control is key. The reason we can’t set ours all the way to 80 is because the AC kicks on too infrequently to manage the humidity and I don’t feel like buying a bunch of dehumidifiers.

      We go like 67 in the winter, 76 or so summer.
