Sure, if you like sweating through your sheets. My AC is set to 68F at night. I can't sleep if it's warm. (www.wtsp.com)

I pretty much keep ours at 76° all the time. - JaxSean Aug 20, 07:24 3
- The joys of central AC. I have different settings for each unit in different rooms. I have three separate air conditioners going at one time. - Krusty Aug 20, 07:27 2
  - the planet thanks you. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 07:29 1
    - I know, it's terrible. And it's actually two not three. I forgot that we turn off the bedroom AC when we get up. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:33
I’m barely able to sleep comfortably with it at 69 and a light blanket. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 20, 07:16
Yeah, no. That's the temp you set the A/C at when you leave the lake house and go back home. -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 07:08 1
- Save all the AC money. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:37
I'm not really on the 'cold' side but I'm certainly not sleeping in the desert side either at 82 degrees -- nm - Pippy, screen eater Aug 20, 07:06
82F? JFC, that's almost 28C. They are on dope. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:04 7
- Seriously! Way too warm to sleep. I'd end up sweating plus I need a blanket to sleep so it needs to be cool in the room. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:06 6

    - I know they're just suggesting the optimal temp to save funds but those temps aren't good for living comfortably. Also, they assume no one is -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:14
  - I can do it if there's a ceiling fan. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 07:08 3
    - 82F with a ceiling fan? I'm not sure I could do that. I don't run warm either, just the opposite but I need a cool room to sleep. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:15 2
      - Yup. I seem to lose heat very easily when I sleep. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 07:21 1
        
        Nice bonus for the summer months. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:24
