Keep the air running the whole time. It's better to keep your house running the air instead of turning off to cool down even harder, putting more work on your unit.
This is a myth fwiw.
No idea how the idea of running a machine 24/7 is somehow less straining than it running 12-15 hours a day.
To OP, what square foot are you trying to cool, how much ac power, and what is your duct situation?

The machine doesn't have to run for 24 hours a day. At some point the air cannot cool any lower than what you set it to. The point is that you don't want to cut power to the air for an extended period of time (i.e. turning off when you leave the house for work then turning back on before arriving).

The myth has to do with efficiency, not absolute comfort.
Shifting *some* of the load from the hot afternoon to the morning hours is in fact effective at reducing the load in the hottest part of the day.
