Ours is a variable speed compressor so during the summer, it is set to 76 during the day when my wife/kids are there and set to maintain humidity under 50% which allows overcooling by 2 degrees. We run at 70/69 at night because our youngest doesn't sleep well with the fan running in our room so I have it cooler to keep from soaking the bed with sweat.

Nothing. My place is so well insulated (with triple glazing) that I don't have to heat. Don't have AC, but closing the blinds during the day keeps things cool enough.

23 in winter and 22 in summer. Nights are set at 18 all year long.

68f in the winter, and N/A for the summer (dont have AC)

Mine is programmable. In winter it's set to 65F at night and 68F durring the day. When unoccupied it also goes to 65F. I'd love to be able to set it lower because I love the cold but my pet snake probably wouldn't appreciate it even with their hot rock and heat lamp. Durring the summer I have it set to 68F while sleeping 72F durring the day and 78F while unoccupied. I don't shut the AC off while unoccupied because in my area humidity is a much bigger issue in the summer than temperature and removing latent heat takes a long time if you let it build up all day. Currently working on refitting my system for better on demand latent heat removal.

some people in my family have sensory things where they feel slightly hotter than others. 69f for most of the year, in winter we hardly use the heater since it doesn't freeze where we live, but my room doesn't have full insulation since the garage is below it, so I have a little bathroom heater in winter.

If it was up to me probs ~71.

I only have heat. So in the winter I usually set it to 65°F, then my wife sets it to 68°F. Then she sets it to 70°F. Then she sets it to 72°F.

As cold as the other people in the house will let me. I have rarely lived anywhere with functioning central heat and air (and have never liked it when I did), so generally I use window units and a cunningly devised system of curtains. I don't care if a hallway or the bathroom gets hot, so long as the bedroom and kitchen stay cool, y'know?

In the winter I almost never use heating, except for a small space heater I just take room to room with me, and one that I run while in the shower.

78

I agree that 78°F is way too high to be a confortable sleeping temp, though being in a country where residential AC isn't really a thing and inside temps at night often are higher than that in summer... you get used to it, it'll just never be fun.

My ideal sleeping temp is like 15°C but even if I had AC that seems too wasteful so I'd probably settle for 18-20

When I have my AC on (usually on the hottest summer days), I set it to 19°C (66.2°F) so it's not too cold.

Stun.

I find roughly 80 degrees good for my sauna.

74F in the winter. In the summer I usually leave the A/C off and use fans, but if it gets above 90F I'll let it run for a few hours before bed.

I seriously don't understand how people farther north of me survive the cold. And I live in Atlanta, so there's a lot of them.
