How hot is too hot?

[Cruiser7]

I hate the heat. I keep my thermo at around 65F when I'm sleeping. When I'm up maybe 67F.

I have no problem sitting with a blanket or sweater on (winter OR summer). I just hate being too hot. There's nothing more disgusting than waking up sweating. It's not a comfortable night's sleep that way.

20c is my max. I prefer the cooler seasons

Well the fact that I have worked in a hospital for over 22 years and know for a fact that heat helps breed germs I keep my home on the cool side.
Why do you think operating rooms are so cold?
I worked a few years on the geriatric ward....what a battle trying to keep the rooms a moderate temp.
The family members trying to layer covers over poor old granny or whoever and those who were incontinent scalding their bodies in heat and urine .

The thermostat is set at 73F day and night.

We keep the thermostat at 70F (21C), though the timer mechanism drops it to 60F at night. But I don't think any one room in the house actually attains that temperature except the hallway where the thermostat is.

Grandmother keeps her vent closed, and the guest room vent is kept closed, and the living-room and dining-room are so big and have so many windows that it's several degrees cooler there than anywhere else, and the kitchen isn't heated at all. But my room is always a few degrees warmer, since the furnace room is under me.

But we don't have air-conditioning, it so seldom gets very hot here. For myself, anything above 75 is uncomfortable, over 80 is painful, and 90 or more just makes me want to die.
