68 degrees day and 60 nights Its a hormonal thing. Need I say more? Hubby says its to cold so he goes to mancave and sits with his blanky on. In summer I keep thermostat at 75 he is sweatin' go figure

Right now, our thermostat is set on 72. It's been set there for about a month.

72 is too cold for me when I'm at home in Florida but it was too hot in the winter time when I used to live in

Michigan

Funny how the body adjusts

65 during day .... when not home .. bump to 68 when home - 62 for nighttime sleeping.

Other than a silk wrapping jacket for Razzle no sweaters coats etc indoors. His crate is put on a folded blanket, and another draped over top - usually one of the Blackies sleeps beside his crate - which is on the floor beside my side of the bed. They give off an incredible amount of heat :-)

Your husband should live with my sister-in-law!

She keeps the house like a sauna.

We keep our thermostat at 72-73, which makes the bedroooms/bathrooms toasty warm, but the living area is quite cool. I'm sitting here with a blankie wrapped around me.

You all are going to think I'm nuts but, I've been turning the thermostat down a degree every winter since I moved here. So now, during the day we keep the house at 63 if we're not here 66 if we are and at night 58. Its sounds so cold but really your body adapts so nicely. Other people's house seem so hot now.

Aren't I crazy! It used to be 68 and 63, but I love cuddling w/ the pups under a blanket w/ hot chocolate and I'd get too hot. And at night my body temperatures go through the roof and I get so overheated. I guess the flannel sheets and crazy thick duvet probably don't help, but now 58 is perfect. I still overheat the dogs at night. They always retreat to the foot of the bed.

My house is currently a balmy 62 degrees. At night I turn it down to 56. No wonder ZoE likes wearing sweaters, huh?

A woman after my own heart! I haven't turned the heat on yet this year! It's gotten down to the 30s at night, and our bedroom gets down to about 57; house is 62 right now (hubby is wearing a winter hat...

pahahaha). We just stay under quilts (and dogs) when we're sitting around, and snuggly comforter at night. I hate heat.

Not once? I turned my heat on for the first time in October...just for one randomly cold morning.

It's been on consistently for the past month. We technically probably haven't reallyyyyy needed it on...but I hate being cold!

My power & gas bill would love you!

chachi · 12-05-2011, 09:43 PM

Around 65 to 70

I probably will turn my heat on a night or 2 this year if it gets cold like it did last year

Thats how I am I get really hot and I keep my bedding light but enough to keep you warm I dont know why I get so hot well I do premenepause.

Roccosmommy · 12-06-2011, 10:59 AM

68 during the day, down to 60-62 at night. I can't sleep with the heat much higher than that - too dry and stuffy. Slippers and robe are next to my bed for the chilly morning when I get up.

As luck would have it, last night was the first time, and I've left it on today!

It's 30 right now. Brrr.
