1. It's not polite to turn down a thermostat without first asking the host, so if the host is asleep, it's best to undress as much as you can, or perhaps toss your bedcovers aside.

2. Why? Because you must always look for a solution that impacts you and only you. Turning down the thermostat affects the entire household. If they are used to sleeping at that temperature, it's not polite to make them uncomfortable. You may also not be aware of the needs of others: for example, I have a tropical bird who will not survive below a certain temperature. I also have a northern breed dog who will overheat past a certain temperature. Temperature control is a big deal for our household! But even if you're only dealing with humans, it's still impolite to inconvenience others.

3. That being said, in certain households, the guest is king. If you had been my guest, I would not have scolded you (68 is fine for my pets), because your comfort if important to me. However, I would definitely have wondered why you couldn't just take off your pyjamas or throw off your duvet... and would have privately thought you a tad inconsiderate.
