My boyfriend isn’t concerned about comfort, he’s more worried about the cost of using the A/C that way.
I have been dating my boyfriend for about 2 years now, and we finally decided that we would move in together. Currently, we live about 15 minutes from each other, and we found a house that is convenient for the both of us. It is a 2-bedroom house, and it has a small backyard, which is great because we plan on getting a small dog. I am so excited to move in with him. The only thing that I am worried about is that my boyfriend and I can’t agree on how to use the HVAC system. In the Summer months, he likes to keep the A/C on 76 degrees at night in his apartment. But I prefer to sleep with my thermostat at 70 degrees. I love when my room is cold so that I can curl up under my blanket. And studies have shown that the ideal room temperature for sleeping is between 66 and 70 degrees, especially if you’re sleeping with an animal or another person in your bed. Between the bedding and other body temperatures, you can get hot during the night. My boyfriend isn’t concerned about comfort, he’s more worried about the cost of using the A/C that way. He feels that we can figure out another way to stay cool during the night. We have looked into bedding that will keep us cool while we sleep. I am willing to try the bedding, but if that doesn’t work, then we will need to come up with a temperature that works for the both of us.
