Now that summer is in full capacity here in NA, what temperature do you sleep at during the night? I’m usually right around 68. I almost never use AC during the day unless I am doing a tough indoor trainer session.
Whatever temperature it is in my room.
78-95 in summer (windows open with fan)
45 - 60 in winter (windows closed)
Between 66-68 degrees. Cannot sleep if its warmer than 70. It’s a big problem when I travel (and not in hotel).
Our house is set at 68 at night and 71 during the day.
In the winter, we usually don’t turn the heat on until it’s in the 50s in the house.
70
.
66 at night. Usually 72/74 in the house during the day (still figuring out the new house and what the temps feel like to us).
Anything over 70 at night and I sleep like crap. Usually in the winter we leave the window open a crack and set the heat to 60.
I would sleep at whatever the temp is outside with the windows open if it was my choice. My wife’s choice is 66.
So, I sleep at 66.

Running AC is probably cheaper than a divorce

NYC metro area electricity prices… might be a toss-up.
73 or 74 with no covers on. Most of the responses aside from velobudda seem to be on the cold side.
60 if it were up to me. 75 if it were up to my wife. So we settled on 71 or 72.
I’m taking note of where some of you live so I can buy stock in your local utility company.
76 in the summer…with ceiling fan on, but sheet and blanket over me. 68 in the winter and another blanket.
78 in the summer
72 in the winter
When I first moved in with my wife gf at the time I felt like I was living in the jungle. Sixteen years later it’s normal. Although I’m still pretty grumpy during the early evening when I am doing stuff around the house and it’s 78+ degrees.
In the winter I like to open the window, so whatever the brutal temps here in Gainesville can throw at me.

I’m on Duke Energy if you want to invest. In reality it is funny, I just bought a small house in May in Clermont FL. The lady that owned it never ran the AC. My home is kind of in a bunker and is well shaded, and stays pretty cool. I called to find out the average bill and I was shocked when they said it was over a $100. She also had all incandescent light bulbs at 60-100w a pop, and those generate a lot of heat. I immediately switched them to LED. Now I am home all the time, take 3-4 showers a day, run the dishwasher ever night, and crank the AC in the middle of summer to 68. My bill last month was about $100. <1000kwh, not sure on the exact number but it is crazy hot here and most AC systems are not efficient with humidity and temp at these levels, plus my system is from 1983. $25 seems to be the fixed cost of electricity.
I was home all last month but made some improvements to thing like insulation of pipe outside. The AC system was disgusting and did a thorough clean of the evap coils etc. On Friday, I busted out a wind gauge,to work on AC efficiency and increase the air output of the system by removing some vacuums I had in the system the way I was running it. The blower is now pushing 25% more air. Can’t wait for the next bill - totally geeking out about making the system more efficient.
The best part is Duke Energy is giving me some significant credits back because I am not using electricity like the regular ‘peek’ customer. Instead of using more energy during the day and less and night I am using more at night and less in the day.
72 in the summer; 64 in the winter.
75/76. Cause AC ain’t cheap.
We slept for one night here upon arrival with windows open when it was perhaps 20-22 and my wife was bitten 89 times by mosquitos - we counted.
We now sleep in 25+ whilst we figure out how to combat the little bastards.
We have no AC
When i was in the middle east we kept the bedrooms at 18-20 at night
68 and 65 the night before a race.
