I remember spending a summer in Laredo w/o AC and one of the warmest nights still had temps over 100 at midnight. The low was in the 90s, and it was incredibly humid.

Man.... sleeping was the worst!
Reminds me of one time in high school I went to visit my best friend whose family lived in Seguin, Tx (near San Antonio) and her dad was unemployed at the time. They were trying to save money by only running the A/C in the daytime! Oh, it was horrible! Thankfully, the area soon got into a rainy spell and some blissfully cooler temps!
I consider it getting a little too warm to sleep comfortably if the temp is above 72-74. However, there's a big difference between what is IDEAL and what is getting truly miserable!

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.
I can sleep in warm conditions, as long as there is air movement. Generally speaking, the higher the temp, the more the air movement.
Cold conditions I can sleep well in, as I can just bury myself in covers. As my dad has always said, its easier to dress up to the cold, but you can only strip down so much for the heat.

In my super insulated house 40-50F is ideal sleeping weather. However, I do have empathy for your concerns.

You are probably very different than me physically.
Whenever I go camping, or sleep at someone's cottage and it's say 59 F,
even without a breeze, I feel the chill at least 3/4's of the time that I'm unconscious. Even if the chill is only on my face, it's cool/cold enough that I can sense it when even I'm "dead to the world."
** I suppose your 40-50 F ideal sleeping temp does not feel the same way to you as I described my <59 F sleeping experience, does it?

You sounds like you'd be better suited to some northern location...
It is only when it's warm or hot that I can feel evenly-distributed body heat;
and no amount of covers can fix that.
Because of that, sometimes I even enjoy sleeping temps warm enough to sweat,
because at least I have no random, "icy" body parts.
