Number

69 is divine all the time

68 degrees day. 60 degrees overnight.

Thermostat current set at 71. I live in a condo on the penthouse floor of a highrise. My monthly condo fees include all utilities.

64 constant.

"Temperature number"? Typically 19.5C/67F for heating in the short winter.

Each room is has its own thermostat, so for rooms I won't be using for a good part of the day 17C/62.6F.

For cooling, a bit different, something close to 18C/64.5F and the maintenance level for unused rooms 19.5C/67F.

66 day (but with space heaters where I'm physically spending a lot of time) and 58 night. My house stays pretty warm, though. Yesterday the high was only 57 degrees, but at 10PM my house was 68, even though the thermostat was at 66 all day.

The high was 57 and you had your heat on?? That is open door weather around here.

I live in an old drafty 2 family. I have to keep at 72 for my tenants apt to stay warm at 70.

In winter 65°F for the bathroom, 60°F for the living room/kitchen and 48°F for the bedroom.

In summer 65°F for the bathroom, 60°F for the living room/kitchen and 60°F for the bedroom.

I work nights in a very hot environment and even in mid-winter it doesn’t get below 80°F at my workstation.

In summer daytime highs at my workstation are 120°F to 130°F

That is why I love the cold

70, my cat sleeps wrapped around my head if it's cooler.

74F during day, 70F at night. I’m very cold natured, my partner is not. So that’s our compromise.

17 downstairs for the underfloor heating, 2 on the radiators upstairs.

63 at night. 67! During the day. For summer 74 during the day 72 at night

66 at night and 69 during the day. I also use a space heater when I'm not at my desk. I suspect though, with the cold snap we're about to have here in northern NJ, I will probably have to boost the heat up a bit.

I'm on the second floor of 2 story-condo building. When it's Spring and Summer, I get direct sunlight into my living/dining room area. It was a main reason I bought this unit. In the Summer though, the AC is on constantly as it gets really hot. I replaced my balcony doors last year with tinted windows. They help with the heat and AC. With my old balcony doors, you could feel the cold air coming in so that heat was on constantly in the winter.

In winter I keep it at 68 during the day, and turn it completely off at night and sleep on a heated mattress cover. I have to have humidifiers running the main rooms I use due to my eczema, but even using them if I have the temp set too high it worsens my dry skin.

I would like 70 but my husband likes it at 80! Sometimes he will compromise to 74 however...

66 constant

58 - night and 75 - day

65 day/night.

Some of you sure do want an igloo situation at night in bed. I can’t imagine it being in the 50s in my room. The floor is cold to step on to when it’s in the 60s and it’s already hard enough to leave a warm bed then.

75 daytime, 71 at night.

63* nighttime 68* daytime

75

Between 71-73 F. I work from home and change the temperature depending if I wear pants or not.

R4, same but in extreme heat I turn it down to 60. In extreme cold I put on a sweatshirt.

i suspect a certain level of obesity on here

77 night and day. You are all some cold, cheap bitches.

72. All winter long. The ground floor of my house has radiant heat. You set that and leave it alone. The upstairs is circulating hot water and that's set at 72, also. A lot of energy is wasted heating up your fucking homes after you let it cool down.

For me the perfect temperature for sleep is 64˚.

Warm bed + cold room = restful slumber.

Oh, and I have a bedroom humidifier going every night.

Winter:

60 at night, window usually slightly open

72 in the daytime, windows usually shut

Summer:

78 day and night with central air which cools the house to about 75

My thermostat currently reads 58°... I never turn on the heat. I like the cold

21 degrees. Not sure what that is in Fahrenheit.

72 when I wake up. Then once it hits 72 I turn it down to 65 for the rest of the day.

[quote]78 day and night with central air which cools the house to about 75

Psychopath.

70 during the day; 67 at night.

40, day and night. I wear a sweater.

Thermostats, just like bathroom scales, vary a LOT in their accuracy.

We let it drop to 47 during the night, and don't notice it because we are asleep. We set the thermostat at that, and let the faucets drip slowly. These help the pipes from freezing and bursting.

When we get up in the morning we put the heater on and bring it up to 57 or so, then let the sun heat up the house and we usually achieve 62. We'll turn on a portable electric heater in the evenings to keep it that temperature until we go to sleep.

The cat sleeps between us during the cold months, which are half the year here.

In the summer we use fans, and we turn on the air conditioning only if the inside of the house gets to 80. We run the air conditioning for 5 hours.

By "roughing it" like this, we have kept my house heating/cooling costs down to about $1000 per year.

Today we're enjoying a lovely 27 F in Nova Scotia. I keep my thermostat at about 70. I love heat and would like to set the thermostat a lot higher, but electric power here is costly. So far this has been a rather mild winter compared to some I've experienced.

I live in a NYC 100 old year plus building on the first floor, it’s like tropical hell, even with the windows wide open.

65 - all day, all night in winter

I am neither fat nor cheap but I run hot and like the cold. It was 20F outside today and I walked for over an hour.

The best part about working from home is temperature control. I don’t miss the ladies at work complaining that the A/C is too cold when they show up wearing sleeveless dresses.

72 F all year round. My house is old and drafty, despite modern updates. I used to keep the thermostat lower in the winter, but I got tired of wearing a jacket indoors.

This is the most scintillating thread since “how many teaspoons of sugar do you put in your coffee?”

I'm 22 in Australia.

What is a "place"?

OP, I'm worried that your electric heater is still "pulling too much light," hun. You should think about lowering the "temperature number" on it so you pull less "light." You know what I'm saying? Consider it. So your "light" bill isn't so high next month.

I worked in commercial retail designing specialty retail store in big malls all over the country. They did a lot of research on things like how lighting, music, temp and other subtle factors affect people. What they determined is that 72F was the perfect temp for 90% of the population. Comfortable enough that you would not notice if it was hot or cold. Warm enough you didn't need any extra clothing and cool enough that you didn't break a sweat walked around.

I know a lot of people in the US think that magic number is 68F but that's not actually correct. That's a number thrown out decades ago to suggest to American to conserve energy by lowering their thermostats. Of course your personal preferences may vary.

72F is a perfect balance.

A sensible 74.

R47, 72 is terrible for sleeping. No.

But you look 16--right?

77

71 during the day, 64 at night. During the summer, the a/c is set at 74 and I don’t change it.
