Day: 73 downstairs/74 upstairs
Night: 68 down/70 up. Going to try 69/71 this summer. I like it cold so I also have a floor fan aimed at me on my side of the bed.

Programmable thermostats so the nigh time setting ends at 3:30 or 4:am so that it's not too cold when we wake up.

How big is the space and what does it cost you in the Summer?

68, sometimes 69...with a floor fan pointed at my head. I'd sleep in the refrigerator if I could.

Usually about 68 in the winter, Angelkitten, and I'm freezing! I don't like to waste the energy so try to keep it somewhat reasonably low, but it could go lower. I'd just be miserable.

I don't touch that thing.
Any place I might set it would be wrong.

Someone has it at 75, and I find that tolerable.
