Bro, what the hell... some people are recreating the Caribbean in their houses while some others try to contribute the least amount possible to climate change. This is why we can't have nice things.

Maybe OP isn't properly informed of the energy usage and climate impact of his lifestyle. Some countries do very little to teach this unfortunately.
In France, a few years ago, there was a very large campaign for this exact topic to prevent energy usage spikes that could have brought the grid down. It also served as a way to teach people that 19 is just fine in the winter.

Jesus Christ 26 would be hot even in the summer
Right? That's what I'd set my AC to. It's a balmy 18 in my place now and -4 outside. Problem the lack of daylight leasing to the depression. Pop some vitamin d and put a sweater on. Cozy warm clothes are the best clothes.
18c or 64F?

Damn 26 is toasty. I get hot if it's 21 in my home. I warm rooms individually but mostly it's 19 or 20 degrees. I don't like to go outside and have too much of a difference.
19.5 on the thermostat, which I'm not sure is accurate. In my opinion comfortable indoor clothes include a sweater or a hoodie, so 26C isn't just wasteful, it's very uncomfortable.
Hi there thermostat buddy. 19.5 here too.
26°C would likely give me a headache.
I try to keep the house at around 20°C, and if I'm chilly put a jumper on.
A brisk 18 kelvin.
I like, let's do it in K all the time, just to annoy those folks who insist on C or F.

15C while I'm away, 17C while I'm in. Gas is expensive and my home isn't that well insulated. I just put on a warm vest and it's fine by me.
During the day usually at 66°F (19°C), maybe bump it up to 68°F (20°C) if we’re feeling unusually chilly still. At night we usually drop it down to 62/63°F (around 17°C).
Holy fuck. Are you all just hanging out in your house wearing your winter coats all day or something? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that must be
I mean a hoodie and sweat pants and I'm good in those temperatures. I find it easier to warm up than to cool off.
I also heat to like 18-20°C. Just wearing a hoodie is more than enough, most of the time. And for extra warmth while couching maybe a blanket. 26°C would be uncomfortably warm to me, even in just a tshirt. That’s summer temperatures. Above 20°-ish are tshirt temps.

58F/14.5C overnight or when I'm not at home, 67F/19.5C during the day.
Currently working from home, barefoot and in a T-shirt and the thermostat turned down a bit to 65F. I'm feeling quite warm today.
26C would feel like a sauna to me right now.
18°, I sometimes push it to 19 if I'm feeling flush.
My parents are in their 80s and rarely go over 15° on their thermostat (unless I'm there complaining!)
My dad's parents only had one heated room in the house, but that one room was heated like an oven to a really uncomfortable temperature 😆
I'm like your grandparents today. Grew up in DDR, had one heated room: the kitchen. It was also our living room, and on the coldest nights our bedroom. Not heated like an oven though.
It makes me physically uncomfortable to be in a >18C room in the winter, even today. I know it's just a psychological thing, probably.

26!? Do you live in hell? I start sweating at 19 and at 22 I'm stripping off to my underwear
60-68F. It took a week for me to notice my heater was put once, though, so I could go lower. Just don't want to have to worry about pipes freezing.
16C to 20C for euronerds.
For me the same. At my place of work it's 22C (72F) and it makes me uncomfortable.
19-20°C. Any warmer and I'm melting
17 C. I find it comfortable even when lightly dressed. My wife dresses more warmly.

That's very warm! Don't think I could deal with those kind of temperatures, not to mention I'd probably go bankrupt trying to keep my 1920s house at 26°C. Right now, my main living areas where I spent a lot of time (work room, living room, dining room) are at 19.7°C, other lesser used rooms are at 16.5°C.
Yeah, 26 is on the hot side of warm indoors for me too. It’s underwear only temperature. But for son it’s super comfortable. Even at this temperature he sleeps with a blanket. Maybe it’s cause he’s very skinny…
26C would make me wake up so hot I'd be vomiting I think
We're usually at 67F at night, 68 to 70F during the day, but I'm baking so the extra 2 degrees from 68 to 70 is usually from the oven.
I don't really have a choice as heat is provided by my building, and they just keep it on at all times. So in winter it's pretty much always around 26/27C except when it gets really cold outside and it "drops" a bit. I do like the heat but it's a bit too much. Sometimes I have to open a window. 24C would suffice.
They even keep the heat on in summer so it can rise up to 35C during sunny days, but I have a portable AC to fight the building's system and bring it back down to a "cool" 24/25C.
That's a crime against the environment.
It's good to see Helll is finally renting apartments to the general public, with this housing market.

Warm clothes and an electric blanket at night to go to sleep. I keep my body warm not the house.
All rooms have their own thermostat. 19-21°C.
I'd go colder at night, but we have a newborn who doesn't do blankets yet. Need to keep it kind of even for her sleeping bags.
74F (23C) I grew up in Florida, which is a very warm state. Now I live a good bit farther north, but my body never adjusted to the cold weather. Nice in the summer, as I don't need the A/C, but the bills in the winter are rough.
A comfortable 16c. 18 if I really want it to get hot.
I would like to keep it at 21°C, but since I live in one of the top floors of a multi-story building, along with some apparently reptilian downstair neighbours, I can't get below 26°C...
Edit: typos
Winter in Madrid, 2019-20, 7th floor, forced heat radiators: me with the windows open and in shorts. Did not enjoy.

65 F or 18.5 C. A little colder at night. It varies as my wife sleeps hot so it depends how warms she is feeling that evening.
73° F
The same here but my heat pump sucks all of the moisture out of the air, so the number on the dial does not equal the comfort of the house.
I bought a humidification system and will install it soon and hopefully I'll be able to drop the number once there's a little bit more moisture to convey the heat to my body in the air.
16°C during the day, ~20ish in the evenings. Still running an oldfashioned boiler setup. Would love to eventually move to a heatpump. Diesel ain't cheap.
26°C people represent!
Might be smart to check your son's iodine, T4-hormone, and maybe T3 levels, as iodine affects the thyroid (body's thermostat valve) and T4 is produced by it to be partly converted into T3 elsewhere. T4 and T3 activate heating. If not low, try some tyrosine or iodine anyway.
I have some gut illness with malabsorption, so the above over-the-counter tricks don't help much. I'm also skinny and can't gain weight. If suspecting bad gut, test for food intolerances by mediator release test or immunoglobulin G (expect false positives and negatives), or try an elimination diet (like rice and meat only for a month).
72-74F (~22-23C)
My house is very drafty so it gets cold in it.
14C when away, 18C when home
I don't yet. I just wear thick clothes.
24°C. I like being warm.
We leave it off. It's 61 in here right now and I like to bundle up. I hate any amount of heat. I like to be chilly.
