[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from Canada.  My parents turn it to 55 over night, everyone has great bedding. I don’t do that in my own home but it doesn’t  bother me.  [/quote]

I'm from Germany. Windows are opened every night, year 'round.  The down comforters everyone sleeps with ensure you stay warm.  Drives my husband nuts when it snows onto the window sills.  :)[/quote]

How cold does it get at night in Germany? All the windows?[/quote]

I don't understand it would get too hot thus you had to open the windows?

We did this in college and in my apartments in my 20s even when temps were in the teens. It's the only way to deal with older radiators and shared piping, especially if you're in a multi-family place. [/quote][/quote]

Yes, older radiators don't necessarily have temperature control and are basically on from when the boiler is turned on in the fall until it's turned off in the spring, regardless of outside temperature. If you live on a lower floor, all of the pipes supplying steam to the upper floors typically run through your living space, so it can be very hot downstairs. But since heat rises, it can also be very hot upstairs. The only way to regulate the indoor temperature is by letting cold air in. [/quote]
