Yeah. I'm comfy at like 80F, but my brother sets his to 68F. I'm always freezing my butt off over there. Same at my sister's. Just because it's 100F outside doesn't mean you need a 30+ degree difference in the house. Now, it's actually different in the winter. 30F warmer inside wouldn't work if the temperature outside was in the single digits or even 20F. Waking up to 50F in the house sounds like hell.
My main gripe with air conditioning is the stale artificial atmosphere it creates. I actually do love sticking my face in front of the vents. The feeling of the air and the smell is mesmerizing, but otherwise, I hate having to run it. I prefer sleeping with the windows open and hearing the birds in the morning and listening to the crickets at night or hearing the rain. I hate how loud and artificial air conditioning sounds. I turn ours off every chance I can get, even in the summer on those rare cool dry nights.
