    I like it cool, but that's only possible in the winter. Never over 17C if I can help it, 14C max at night. It's not usually cold here, so I keep the porch door open all winter and just fiddle with the thermostat to keep it right......... Summertime is a misery for me. Thinking of investing in an good air conditioner. I feel about being too warm the way most people feel about being too cold.

    Interesting. My normal body temp is about 96 degrees. My theory is that I hate the heat so much because my normal internal body temp is more at odds with outer temps than normal, and that's why it's more uncomfortable for me compared to a lot of people.

    At night at about 67, I like to keep it cooler when I sleep.

    do you set your thermostat for those temps? why would you want it colder at night time? shouldn't that be other other way around?

    69 in the winter.

    My father in law, who lives in ft Wayne, IN, keeps his at 61 at night and 59 during the day. Its FREEZING in his house. He says he sweats everyday we visit because they raise it to 64 when we go up there.

    Fascinating. And that might explain my dislike of hot weather because I made a typo- I'm actually 96.4 normal, not 98.4. In weather over the mid-eighties I wilt like a head of lettuce but due to my age I'm not as cold tolerant.

    Of course OP meant what is our climate temp. Here in northern CA its been upper sixties and dry as a bone. Definitely a nasty drought in progress.

    I have actually never heard of anyone keeping it warmer at night until now. You sleep with warm blankets, so it needs to be cooler at night so that you don't get hot in bed.

    it's been in the low 30's around here at night lately. makes sense to me to bump it up a degree or two. i lower it or turn it off during the day when it's warmer and i'm not home. i thought most people operated this way... :?

    usually around 64. overnight usually down to 62, and the same when no one but the dogs are home.


    and i LOVE a cool bedroom and toasty comforter - plus two snuggly warm doggies. i rather be cool than hot, always.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    64* 24/7

    our house has no insulation, the master bedroom addition has no vapor barrier either, so it's about 52* in there, so we use a ceramic heater at night.

    Oh, have laminate throughout the house too, no carpet.

    The name "Three Dog Night" supposedly refers to an expression meaning a night so cold that one needs to sleep while embracing three dogs. It's unclear whether the term originated with Inuit or with Indigenous Australians. An official commentary included in the CD set “Celebrate: The Three Dog Night Story, 1965-1975” stated that vocalist Danny Hutton’s girlfriend saw a documentary on TV in which the custom was explained to have originated with the latter.

    Dogs' internal temps are in the 102* range, so that's why people used to sleep with their dogs to keep warm.
