Will you wear the quilt to sleep while switching on the airconditioner?

It is very hot here even it is near to the end of Sept, I am used to turnning on the airconditioner no matter in the day or at night. My mum always grumbled that I wear the quilt to sleep while switching on the airconditioner all night long and wasted a lot of electricity there. And I play the deaf ear to her.^_^ How about you? Are you stand with the hot weather? Will you turn on the airconditioner while you fall asleep and wear the quite at the same time? Do you think it is a bad habbit?

I don´t live in the United States. I don´t have airconditioner at home. I just sleep with summer nightgowns.I like them shor and cotton if possible. I don´t have central heating either. In Winter, I put on more clothes (day and night). I have two gas heaters, one upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs one is in my computer room. It´s small and look like a robot. The one downstairs is almost always off, except when I´ll have guests for diner. Then I heat the dining room and living room in advance. My room is also downstairs but it doesn´t have heat. What I do have is an electric blanket that you put under the lower sheet. I also have a downquilt. And I use winter pyjamas. In my country we save a lot of electricity as compared to others. Today, for instance, I washed clothes because the sun was shining. I have a dryer but haven´t used it for more than 10 years. I suppose all that is something you learn when you are small. I don´t even have to think to do all this and I don´t miss airconditioner.

LOL, I don't live in the United States either, but I am sure that airconditioner is very common if the market demands. In the hot weather, we can cool it while it can warm in cold weather. I love winter as I do not scare of the coldness and I really hate the hot weather here. I envy you so much that you can live without the airconditoner there. As a matter of fact, I am sure the airconditoner will have a great radiation, which is bad for health. Your description of your house is like the cottage style, one gas heater upstairs and another downstairs, it must be great.^_^

It is harder to sleep when it's hot and also when it's humid so we have our house cooled to a comfortable temperature when we go to bed. We actually keep the temperature a little bit higher during the day.

you meant you agree to use the airconditioner to cool the humid before you go to sleep?

Yes, I do agree. We have central air conditioning, that cools the entire house, so I keep the temperature set a little bit higher during the day and evening but, before we go to bed, I turn it down because my husband and I like sleeping when it's a little bit cooler.

Hehe, I agree, it should be healthy while turn on the temperature a little higher in the date. And I also like to turn down the conditioner a little bit at night so that the quilt can be applied, the feeling is so good particularly with the person you like^_^ You fixed the central airconditioning in your bedroom?

There are a lot of people who are like you. I know people around here like my Aunt who recently passed on that used to sleep during the Winter with the Heater on all except her bedroom and slept with a Fan or window open and then used a lot of blankets. To me since I am so Cold blooded it never makes much sense, but I know it is also easier to sleep when it is colder, so I would think this makes a lot of sense using a quilt with an air conditioner as well.

Hello, Sasalove, the weather here is very hot also. I usually turn on the airconditioning at night only, and I never wear quilt when switching on the airconditioning. I feel the same as your mon, it's too wasteful, and it's also not eco-friendly. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

LOL, Thanks for your suggestion, but my bedroom is just like the cage that no fresh air in, it is very tough to only have the lower power fan. I will be the saint if I can make it one day.

But it is very hard to fall asleep if I did not turn on the airconditioner. If I keep on turning on, it is very easy to catch a cold without the quilt there...I know it is very hard to change it even I know it is not a good habit. Without the airconditioner, I always can not breath the fresh air in the bedroom, hehe~~
