I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That’s too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

    I have mine at 20~22°C. Not sure what that is in non-standard units… honestly I’d go lower, but then it becomes a hassle for other reasons

    I acclimate to to the heat. I’ve lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.

    Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.

    Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F

    72/65 in the winter 78/70 in the summer. I know we should keep it cooler in the winter, but I just really hate being cold.

    It’s always set at 19°C at night and 20°C for the day, all year long. But it’s only heating, there is no AC.

    As cold as the other people in the house will let me. I have rarely lived anywhere with functioning central heat and air (and have never liked it when I did), so generally I use window units and a cunningly devised system of curtains. I don’t care if a hallway or the bathroom gets hot, so long as the bedroom and kitchen stay cool, y’know?

    In the winter I almost never use heating, except for a small space heater I just take room to room with me, and one that I run while in the shower.
