My children are ages 5, 3, & 1. So I tend to keep my house around 66 degrees at night.

We keep ours at 71 but have an old house that really needs better insulation so it's usually realistically at 65 give or take. The hallway where we have the thermostat is the only place that stays at 71. We use a space heater in the living room also which normally reads the 65-68.

Believe it or not, we keep our house at 60 during the night, 64 during the day. You do get used to it, and it is actually not bad at night as we have a feather bed and down comforter. Once you are under the covers, it's quite toasty. Our house is old, but it doesn't actually seem so cold. This will probably all change once our son is born in March. I am sure next winter it will need to be much warmer in the house.

We keep the heater set around 60 degrees pretty much 24/7 in the winter. We up it to about 75 when the kids take a bath...but once that is done...it is back down to about 60.

I usually keep my house about 65 through the night. Your under blankets, and have warm PJ's on, so I think thats perfect for sleeping. Also, my son has a dry nose condition that ends up bleeding if its too warm. The temperature at 65 keeps it from doing that (along with a crock pot full of water), and its comfortable for the rest of us too.

We keep ours at 62' all the time. Sounds cold, but you get used to dressing warmer to accomodate. We also use an electric space heater in the room we are in when cold winds blow too hard! By doing this, we use 1/3 to 1/2 less propane than my daughter who sets hers at 68' to 70'. Nebraska winters get sooo cold! Someday I hope to move to warmer climates! :)

We choose not to use our central heating...it's inefficient and expensive. Instead we keep space heaters in each room (only run them when in the room), use an electric blanket, and run a gas fireplace for the great room. Consequently, the unused rooms can be as low as the mid-40s in the winter. We shoot for mid-upper 60s in the occupied rooms.

i keep my house at 72 degrees in the winter, and 70 degrees in the summer. it just really all depends on how cold or warm it is outside. if you have a baby, they say the temp should be inbetween 68 and 72....i hope this helped a bit!
