I agree, even if our ideals are in opposite directions.
75 F (24 C) is the lowest I would count as "ideal" sleeping temps,
however even 65 F (18 C) still isn't too bad;
yes my toes might be cold, but at least they don't hurt
and sensations of "chill" are brief, if at all, during sleep.
Anything near 60 F or below (16 C or lower) is very annoying for sleeping;
the kind of sleep where most of the time I'm unconscious, I can still sense the chill.
Even though you know how rabid I am about liking cold weather in general, I do NOT like to sleep in a room that's very cool. I would consider 65 or below too cold for sleeping. ( I would, however, prefer to sleep in a room that's slightly too cold than one that is slightly too hot.)
20oC with humid NE winds is far too uncomfortable to sleep in . I'd like it to be 10oC everynight in the summer so that can sleep really well instead of being harrassed just about daily from the humidity

Here, since we lack central A/C; the max comfortable low would have to be 68°F or so (20°C). Above that and I usually either sleep with just a sheet or, well; I really don't sleep too good.
In the summer of 2006 (when the Western U.S. had its major heat wave); we had almost a full month and a half of lows over 70°F (21°C) from June 15 through the end of July 2006. That was one of the worst times sleeping that I have ever had.
That threshold temperature would be somewhere between 70 and 75 degrees. Every now and then, when we have our typical Southern electric storms, the power will get knocked out and we have to sleep with the windows open to get any kind of circulating air in the house...of course, since the storms leave humidity, that doesn't really help. If it's warmer than 75, sleeping's pretty tough.
The highest low temperature ever recorded in Phoenix was 96°F on July 15, 2003. The few nights around here that don't reach below 90°F are generally awful to try to sleep with. So, you go out into the screened area surrounding your pool and sleep there.
