72/65 in the winter 78/70 in the summer. I know we should keep it cooler in the winter, but I just really hate being cold.

Are these cool/heat numbers?
Day/night
I acclimate to to the heat. I've lived in the South with no AC at all; 80F with humidity control is cushy by comparison.
Summer: open windows until heat and/or humidity causes concern for my electronics.
Winter Day: 68F Winter Night: 58F
69 F
;)
During the cold season
20°C, 18°C at night and when away
During the warm season
23°C, 25°C when away
By thermostat are we talking about heating? I'm cold-tolerant so I typically set mine to 15.5 C. If it gets any colder than that indoors it comes on
If I'm paying the bills the AC is set to 72 in the summer and the heat is set to 66 in the winter.
If I'm not paying the bills the AC is set to 66 when it's hot and the heat is set to 72 when it's cold.
23 all year round
I keep it 68F(20c) downstairs, but the main house temp is regrettably 73F(22C) and I fight to keep it that low because the rest of the house is cold blooded.
I try to keep between 68 F and 72 F, but uh, the thermostat's method of measuring the actual temperature in the apartment is completely, laughably busted, so... hot days it goes on 62, cold days it goes on 84.
It depends on where you sleep. Basement vs upstairs can make a huge difference at the same thermostat setting. I keep mine set to be between 19°C and 25°C and don't have trouble sleeping.
Speaking of which, anyone else use Home Assistant / Z-Wave?
Year long lowest possible to keep whatever fluids are in the radiators flowing. Not off but not too on either. And then open windows to regulate temperature.
My building is hot OK...
63/77 all year.
When I visit the US I find that I usually set it in the mid to high 60s for optimal comfort.
Heat to 69 in the winter, cool to 74-76 in the summer.
Why would I care what temperature it is when I'm sleeping? I'm asleep.
That aside, 60 winter and 73 summer.

Usually around 18-19, 15-16 overnight
I'm originally from Florida, so 78 is what I usually leave mine at during summer.
80f / 26.6c
In summer it's off and in winter 20,5-21℃ at daytime and 17℃ at night.
67-68f in the winter, 74 in the summer + fans to supplement when it gets really hot/muggy.
Neither are my ideal temperature, but it lowers the bills and helps reduce the harm done in terms of energy consumption
I live in California’s San Joaquin valley. It gets hot in the summer. PG&E bill is high as hell. Having your place cooler than 78F is a total luxury. In my place keeping it at 78F would mean a couple $600 bills. I have since gotten solar but I’ve heard PG&E increased their prices twice since then. And they want to increase it even more.
On the other hand some places like Sacramento used to have super cheap rates and people could crank their ACs on.
17-20 C
72°F in summer / 64°F in winter
It's always set at 19°C at night and 20°C for the day, all year long. But it's only heating, there is no AC.
18 c - 23 c.
As cold as the other people in the house will let me. I have rarely lived anywhere with functioning central heat and air (and have never liked it when I did), so generally I use window units and a cunningly devised system of curtains. I don't care if a hallway or the bathroom gets hot, so long as the bedroom and kitchen stay cool, y'know?
In the winter I almost never use heating, except for a small space heater I just take room to room with me, and one that I run while in the shower.
23 in winter and 22 in summer. Nights are set at 18 all year long.
78
Ours is a variable speed compressor so during the summer, it is set to 76 during the day when my wife/kids are there and set to maintain humidity under 50% which allows overcooling by 2 degrees. We run at 70/69 at night because our youngest doesn't sleep well with the fan running in our room so I have it cooler to keep from soaking the bed with sweat.
