Once I had an afternoon nap in 95 degree heat and woke up with the worst heatwave hangover imaginable. Not to mention the sweaty clothes sticking to ya. I'd need a fan atleast to circulate the air.
The worst is when you have an actual (alcohol induced) hangover and its hot. You are too dehydrated to sweat and cool yourself properly. Once I crashed at my buddy's house after a night out and I was sleeping in a stuffy room near a heat pipe. In the middle of the night I woke up with my head pounding, my heart racing as if I just sprinted a mile, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I got to the bathroom and must have drank a gallon of water right from the faucet while splashing it all over my face and neck.

I will gladly have a tall glass of ice water before going to sleep sometimes, and that's all I'd need in Toronto's worst.
I guess you don't have to use AC. I know people who don't even have one (in NYC). But I can't imagine myself being comfortable without one. I can't sleep when I'm sweating and you have to be sweating at least at points where your skin touches the sheets/pillows. I'm assuming you would need to sleep without covers?? I think that would feel weird.

I can imagine that...
I can sleep with a light sweat.
I'd rather have a light sweat than a strong chill.
I've slept under a light-comforter with my room at 82 F (28 C) and 82% humidity;
at one point that night, I woke up to turn off my ceiling fan.

My goodness! You're insane!
I sleep much better in a cooler room. During the summer I try to keep the temperature no higher than 72 (at least on the days with the AC on). Otherwise I have my fan on most of the summer, which does a good enough job of cooling off the room (unless it's "exceptionally" warm and humid out).
Tomorrow is supposed to be 55 out. I think I'll open the window.

I think I'd be ok under 75F, though it feels much cozier at 65F. As long as your face doesn't get cold its not bad.
I'm almost always cold in the morning, though, at least until my core body temperature rises to normal levels. It can be 80F and I'll still feel cold in the morning.

Really?
Maybe it's because my core-temp is rarely an issue, but when it's 78+ F indoors I can throw myself out of bed,
and the temp does little-to-nothing to dampen my mood... 10 minutes later before I might want to get dressed.
In fact, I love it when I'm (very-mildly) overheated in bed, so that when it's time to wake up it feels refreshing to pull off the covers.
Conversely, sometimes I might want to get up, but I'll go back to sleep in if I'm comfy in bed, but I resent the indoor air-temp.
Oh how I agree with the majority of these posts!!! I am not liking winter myself these days...it came much too quickly where I live in Colorado...before the beautiful leaves fell from the trees this fall....so there was no Fall here this year....only WINTER...disgusting. Not only that, but due to the economy, I am working a job that barely pays minumum wage. I must drive up a road that could be considered "off road" in order to make it to my patient's home. We need 4-wheel drive or All Wheel Drive in order to make it up there when the snow flies. The roads are so icy that it makes it nearly impossible in the winter. So I have a double issue with winter right now. I am eagerly awaiting February when my social security payments begin...I filed for SS as soon as I could because the ecomomy sucks worse than I've EVER seen it. I would love to be where it's sandy and warm ...except I can't take my dear friends with me. It would almost be WORSE to be without dear friends even where it's warm. But, I am thinking about it more and more because, as has been said before, WINTER SUCKS!!!! End of rant
Ahhhhh! I feel much better now ...thanks for allowing me to get this off my chest...
