Keep it cool! More incentive to snuggle!

Funny thing about that. We own a sectional and my husband's favorite seat is the one end which has a divider, nobody can snuggle with him on the sofa! Drives me crazy. So when I do actually sit down to watch tv (which is rare) I end up being joined by my two youngest and we snuggle buried under the blankets.

68 when we're around 62 at night or when we're not around 68 is even a bit chilly for me! If I'm doing work around the house, I'm comfy. But if I'm just lazing around, watching TV, I need blankets, sweatshirts at 68. I just can't justify spending any more though!

I thought that we left ours at 55, but I looked at it the other day and realized that it goes down to 50. So we leave ours at 50-51 during the day and while we are sleeping. We might turn it up to 58 in the evening when we come home, but not always. We just wear sweaters and sweatshirts and use a lot of blankets.

We have the programmed thermostat as well. Usually 66 during the day and 68 at night and in the mornings. We have a little one too, so the heat needs to stay on. Every night we light a fire and that helps warm up the living room/kitchen. Keeps little man's room warm all night too! Smile

64 - 66 all the time. Run to win, are you kidding me? 50-51 degrees? That's cold! Even at 58 I would throw a fit. Wink

Your husband's loss, I'm sure. In that case, crank up the heat!

75 during the day, 72 at night with the air conditioning... though I have a feeling this question wasn't directed towards my kind

68 all the time

66 - 68 consistently, depending on how cold it feels in here. I'm about comfort and keeping the wife happy. Big grin

Same goes for AC in the summer in terms of the comfort factor. No point in having it if you aren't going to be comfortable using it (heat or cold). It's worth the few bucks a month. That's my take anyway. Wink

My wife and I are rarely home during the day, and when we are sleeping at night we have a lot of blankets, a nice thick quilt, each other, and a cat to keep us warm. In the morning, we just deal with it. We're too cheap to raise the temperature when we won't be home long enough to enjoy it.

heating is set to 68 from 5am to 7am and from 6pm to 10pm on weekdays and from 8am to 10pm at the weekend. the rest of the time it is off. during summer it barely ever comes on anyway as the house is naturally always warmer than that. in winter it can drop to around 55 overnight. never gets much colder (but then it never goes much below 40 outside)
