We used to keep it at 68 before we had kids. When our kids were babies I didn't want them cold and not sleeping well. Now we keep it around 70/71 so it doesn't get down to 67 before the heat kicks back on. But after that if you're cold; put on more clothing.
70 during the day. Or a bit higher if it's a serious freeze.
At night it goes down to 67-68. Easier to bundle up with lots of bedding or an electric blanket. During the day I work from home and the house is old and a bit drafty but I hate being overdressed so 70 it is.

. Still haven't put my heating on this autumn. This morning it was 11° when I got up but still didn't feel cold to me. Wonder if it just hasnt registered with my 2 brain cells yet.
We have an older house so I put the thermostat on 72 and it keeps the house temp at 70. At night I put the thermostat on 66 unless we are having a really cold snap and then I put it on 70 otherwise the kitchen pipes freeze.
The only reason I have the heat on is so the pipes don't freeze at night.
I prefer it on the colder side. Even with snow on the ground, it's usually warm outside during the day.
It used to be more like 66-67 degrees F, but as I age, I am more sensitive to the cold (although not so severly as heat). Probably because I am no longer as mobile as I used to be. Now, it is 68, but an hour before I take my bath, I bump it up to 70, then back down once I'm out, dry, and in my snuggly nightgown and fuzzy socks!
