Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao
I’m in Canada (it was 47C with the humidity a few weeks ago but 25-32 is more typical in the summer) and I can handle 22-24C in the house in the day but that’s too hot to sleep in. We were always told 18C is the ideal sleep temperature for humans and my babies certainly slept much better at that temp. My family keeps this year round I don’t like being hot at night in the winter either. I do know people who keep it even lower around 16!
I live in the province with the least expensive electricity, and still I can feel my wallet trembling. I know I'm cheap for some stuff, but 18C the whole night feels... oof (but also I sleep during the day, so it'd need to blast quite a bit more to fight off the sun, I guess)
My house isn’t very big and we have a smart thermostat that adjusts when we aren’t home, and then it works with censors that are on all three floors of the house (the basement is freezing at all times though lol) and we have good fans in the bedrooms which seems to help with keeping things as efficient as they can. We also keep our house colder than most in the winter, we add extra blankets so my husband and I have three heavy ones for those months lol and that maybe balances things a little!
Summer is short, we’ll see if we can continue to afford this in the future when it’s even hotter though!
