What should I keep the thermostat at at night?

Answer 1

it's a matter of your own tolerance. When it's not going below 32 degrees outside, I shut my furnace off at night. In the morning I turn it to 62 degrees for a blast of warm air.

Answer 2

Your body will sleep best at 62-65 degrees. You do not want it too warm when you sleep as it affects your sleep patterns and cycles (light sleep, rem) So for the best health keep it low and if you have a automatic thermostat set it to raise the heat 1/2 hour before you get up in the morning. Make sure you have adequate blankets or quit. Happy Dreams.

Answer 3

Are you setting it for heat or cool?
I live in the Midwest , we get some really hot summer weather and some pretty cold winter weather. We have found that it is better in the winter to sleep somewhat cool, for the sake of breathing easy. We set it on 64 to 68 % in winter. And about 68-70 % in the summer. Set it and forget it.

Answer 4

I prefer to sleep in a cooler environment like 65F, but my wife ends up whining to me that she is cold and cranks up the thermostat to 80F, turning our bedroom into an oven. I wake up in the morning bleeding from my nasal passages like a stuck pig because throughout the night, I was breathing warm and dry air, which in itself promotes colds and sinus congestion. Why are women always whining that they are cold, even if its over 80F outside? Have you ever seen someone use a heavy winter blanket during the peak of summer when it is 92F outside? If not, the you don't know my wife. I need to light a bonfire under her behind to keep her from whining.

Answer 5

We keep it at 72 during the day and 68 at night

Answer 6

Drop it 5-7 degrees from the day temperature. This way you save money but don't have such a big difference to overcome during the day. Also, your houseplants will love the 7 degree drop, they'd prefer 10 degrees.......but then they don't voice their opinions as much as the human residents.

Answer 7

as cold as you can tolerate. Do you survive outside when it's 55/60 with a coat or jacket on? If so you should be fine underneath sufficient comforters or blankets.

Answer 8

63 at night, 68 during day, 68 conserves more energy. if that too cool, you should wear more clothes around your house. : ) my mom told me that, and my dad works for the local power company.

Answer 9

i keep mine between 65 and 68 at night

Answer 10

50 or below. You will sleep better and catch less colds, not to mention saving energy
