In this high, dry climate, nights will normally be 30F cooler than the days, maybe more. We open the windows at sundown and by morning, the house will be 68-70. Close it up and we won't use the a/c until 3pm or later. Then we set it for 75 so it comes on before the house gets hot. It's easier and cheaper to keep it cool than it is to get it cool. It's 2pm, outside is 91, inside is 73, a/c isn't turned on yet.

we got by for many, many years opening the windows at night and putting a box fan in one to draw air in or out. Then close the windows and draw the shades shortly after sunup. The house would stay cool through most of the day. And I always slept best under an open window.
Today, it is all central air. 74 degrees in the summer and 68 in the winter.
But if I was to consider these ridiculous .gov recommendations, they would be reversed. There is no way I am sleeping at 82 degrees.
It is hitting 100 in the days here right now. But I am walking out the door at 6:00 AM to 56 to 60 degrees. I sure as hell am not going to turn the furnace on during the night.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

The electricity I burn staying comfortable right now, comes back to me during the winter. I'm so hot natured, I very rarely turn the heater on. If I get up in the morning in winter and it has dropped into the 50's inside, I'll warm things up with the heater, and shut it off after it warms to about 65...

72f day when Im not home, 70f after 5pm and 66f at night, how you can sleep when its warmer than 72 baffles me. Sometimes I get up and drop it down to 64f even... How heavy is your blanket?

I’ll guarantee their offices aren’t that hot... May be if them offices are full of wimmens. You cannot satisfy them in an office setting. 1/2 are always cold, other half are always hot. Depending on their time of the month. .

Tough crowd. I'm guessing you guys don't follow the dietary guidelines either.

I can't remember it ever getting to 100* here in my lifetime thank God. It has gotten to 97* a few times and I thought for sure I'd died and gone to hell.
