re: Debate settled. It’s best to keep your AC on 82° F while sleeping.

78 when at work
73 when were home and at night. Still fricking hot to sleep at 73 but AC struggles to even get temp to that.

I saw that article and wondered if they even considered those living in high humidity parts of the country.

Even I don’t keep my thermostat that high.

Energy Star, a joint federal program run by the DOE and the EPA, recommends you keep your house at 78° F while you're at home and awake.

Yeah...uh....hell no.

Electricity, like water, is something i pay for, and i'll use however the hell much of it i like.

The last time i walked in a house of mine and it was 78, i punched a hole in the wall.

They lost all credibility. To keep costs down, don't use your AC.

I don’t try and keep up the Jones’s, I don’t live beyond my means, I recycle, and I reuse plastic bags.

I’m sure as F not setting my thermostat at 82 degrees at night

This is an outside the south thing. I’ve lived with 2 people from the northeast down here here and both wanted the temp set at 80+ in the middle of summer. People are nuts

Might as well sleep outside then with those temps

Trust the government?

I would probably get heatstroke and die, which means I would sleep forever, so yeah that might work.
