Room Temperature

[JKennedy]

What is a healthy room temperature for livingrooms and bedrooms ?

What are some ways of staying warm with a lower thermostat setting ?

68 to 70 is a good temp
Wear a sweater instead of a t shirt.
Wear slippers to keep your feet warm.
When doing house work you can turn temp down as you should keep warm with the exercise of cleaning.

I like it around 70 degrees F.

Thanks. My mother, born in Edinburgh, always kept the house at 68F. She would say "if your cold put a sweater on". She knit me several.

My wife keeps our house about 80F and she is still cold.
Perhaps she will warm up if I do some vacuuming.

In our home the thermostat setting varies with humidity as well. Cool and damp = 72. Cool and dry, or hot and dry = 68. Hot and humid = 66. Sleeping temperature = 60 to 66 as anything warmer is somewhat uncomfortable for sleeping. That is only my opinion though as I personally prefer the cooler climes.
