I can sleep pretty easily with it at 60 (I have really comfy bedding), but the problem is that I can't get UP unless it's close to 70. But that's also because my PJs consist of a t shirt at most...<BR/><BR/>I've been home in AL where it's cold and our huge airy house is really hard to heat. It hasn't gotten above 65 in my room all week, but I've been sleeping fine; I just bundle up a bit more.MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335747191977252722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-887222049437255592008-12-22T07:47:00.000-08:002008-12-22T07:47:00.000-08:00I'm like roomie #1; my apartments have always com...I'm like roomie #1; my apartments have always come with tiny heaters that really don't do much for the space, so I layer on the blankets (there are four on my bed now).<BR/><BR/>I understand roomie #2's perspective, but putting the heat on in a multi-adult house also leads to thermostat wars. If I have heat, I prefer sub-tropic temperatures, but my ex roomie, who was also a teacher (not that it has bearing on this point), was also premenopausal. She liked it at an arctic 50 degrees.<BR/><BR/>War ensued.<BR/><BR/>Now that I live alone, my preference is to keep the heat off anyway, but if you are chilly at night, look into getting a space heater for your room. That way, if your roomie is also pre-menopausal and wants to keep the heat low, your room itself will be nice and toasty.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335320552964298416noreply@blogger.com
