Indoors, that is. Outdoors I can easily live with anything from 40 to 90, but inside I seem to have pretty strict standards. The thermostat is on 68 for heating, which is never warm enough, and 74 for cooling, which is never cool enough. Must be a psychological thing; maybe I should just set the tent up outside, then I'd be comfortable. What's your indoor (or for that matter outdoor) comfort range?

2. 78? Wow! I go to the sweater, knit cap and wool socks and am still cold
but I think if I bit the bullet and moved the dial to 70 I'd be fine. Could it be a medical problem? Drafts from bad insulation? That seems really extreme to me (but as usual, I'm not a doctor).
