Winter at night 62 (I have a nice warm quilt)
Winter during the day 64 (I have a southern exposure and it typically stays at 66-68 without the heater on)
Summer day- there's no air conditioning here but usually 72 or so inside
Summer night - 60-65 at night with the windows open

I'm in the mountains at 7,000 feet btw

That looks good to me. Although I leave it off in the spring/fall.

I usually have the Heat on from Mid October-Mid April and the A/C on from Mid June-Mid August.

Sometimes, I have to stay in a climate control all year long since it rapidly changes from summer to winter and reverse.

(Once in late September-Highs dipped from 87 to 49 F in 2 days )

I usually do crack open a window at night during the summer unless there is a heatwave, since lows are usually around 60 F here.

Our comfort range is around 74-78, but we try to keep it cooler than that during the winter to save some $. I have our programmable thermostat set as follows...

Summer: 80 during day (6am-9pm), 78 at night (9pm-6am)

Winter: 73 wakeup (5am-6am), 70 during day (6am-9pm), 68 at night (9pm-5am). We'll manually bump it up to 74 in the evening if we are at home relaxing.

Well in Miami we rarely get cold snaps but when we do it can get as low as 40's.

So this is the norm almost year round

74 at night
75-76 during the day.

When it is cold outside...68

Late spring to early fall, we keep all heating and cooling off and live with whatever temperature we get, except for (usually) a couple weeks when the temp inside gets so unbearable (80s and humid) and then we turn on AC in a room or two. The cooled air seems colder to me so we set it to around 70 or so, with a "feel" of high 60s.

In winter we like 69 when we're home and awake, and turn the heat down very low in much of the house overnight, and down to 65 in the bedroom. Sleeping temperature needs to be colder than "hanging around the house" temperature. I have very comfortably slept at 60 but my husband doesn't like it below 65.

Oh, for the record, I'm stating the actual air temperature I like, NOT the thermostat setting, which is not always the same. A lot of factors inside and out can make the temp higher or lower than the setting.

I usually prefer it very cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I've only lived in rental homes though with notorious drafts, so that could be a big reason for my preferences. Anyway,

Summer is 68-72F
Winter is 75-78F

Year round: 60º-95º , trying to use HVAC as little as possible

I never realized how ridiculous I am about using heat/AC...

It is true that I set my heat at 70 F to get my room temperature between 65-68 F in the winter. Anything below 65 F feels too cold for me indoors. Sorry cold loving America, but for a tropical guy like me room temperatures below 65 F and air temperature below 50 F feels a bit too chilly for a T shirt. I don't like wearing a sweatshirt indoors. In my opinion, sweaters are meant for outside use.
