Our night thermostat setting is 59 deg. But the thermostat is in the living room and I have isolated the radiator in the bedroom, so it is usually a little colder than that in the winter. We sleep with a down comforter and two cats. In the summer, we have a bedroom window A/C and usually set it on 66 deg. overnight.

The best sleeping for me in winter is with an open window and lots of covers and a dog, but we can hear trains from our house so that's not very restful (plus it's freezing when we wake up so DH someone has to go close the window in the morning right away). Programable thermostats are a great thing.

I think for me a weighted blanket would keep me from sleeping.

During winter I have my one thermostat located downstairs set at 60 degrees overnight. I sleep on the second story of the house so it is a bit warmer than that. I sleep in pajama bottoms and a tee shirt under a cotton top sheet, followed by a cotton quilt and topped off with a Polartec fleece blanket. Very comfortable for me. During the dog days of summer I have the thermostat at 70 overnight and a ceiling fan over my bed.

We slept with A/C for 38 years in KC. We have A/C in this house, I've turned it on every year, but we don't need it. After sundown it's so nice and cool. We have a parlor stove in the living room and it gets used on cold summer mornings.

I set the thermostat at 75 to 76 at night and sleep under three king size blankets, doubled over me. I am still a little cold (that temp is a compromise with DH).

WOW, that's even higher than what I set mine at. Programmable is set for heat below 73 and AC above 76, year round. Sleep with one dog and now two cats (was five when 2018 began ). light comforter or blanket.

Wonder if you have an under active thyroid if you are still cold at 75 deg or 76 deg.
