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
Double it and subtract one tenth of the doubled number then add 32. That makes your range 68-72.
And that’s a good range
Cheap Canadian here…
18C in cold months and down to 15C at night.
Warm months I have central air but don’t turn it on and just live with whatever the temp is.
I set it to 291K.
Not sure what that is in feet-degrees or miles or whatever you guys use in Murca.
Edit: changed to CAPITAL K, you nerds.
Edit 2: removed the degree symbol!
Kelvins are abbreviated to capital K
291 kilo what?
That’s about 523.8 °R. I prefer 531.67 °R
Usually off, but if on 18°C (291.15K).
23 in a lot of the winter (though I think the thermostat is wrong since that gets us to 20.x or 21 according to actual thermometers in the room) and usually 26 in ‘dry’ mode in the summer. Right now, we’re going for days without using them at all but, if not the heat, then the humidity will put an end to that by late May or early June.
Cool to 25, heat to 20 (Canberra, Australia)
21 during the day and at bedtime 15
23-25 in the winter (depends on humidity), switched off in the summer.
70F, all year round. Cuz that’s basically the perfect “room temperature.”
-40 so I don’t have to specify which temperature scale I’m using.
I did some experimenting - I can’t sleep above 67 at most, 65 comfortably.
Anything above 68 is too hot generally indoors and I begin to lose the ability to focus.
I don’t have AC but my house is from the 1860s when people had fires running pretty much nonstop so is designed to keep cool, so even when it’s 80+ outdoors the indoor temperature rarely goes above 70
Summer: 72-74 in the day, 68 for sleeping Winter: 65 in the day, 62 for sleeping. I love the cold
Dry climates will let you set the temp higher in the summer since your body will cool better.
I have solar/battery and heat pumps so I set my temp to whatever makes my SO happy.
I do 69 in winter because its close enough to what I want and funny. summer it depends on humidity. I often just keep it a bit below the temp outside because if you draw away humidity even low eighties is not bad.
