ITS FINE!
I typically turn mine down a few degrees once the sun goes down, much more efficient to cool the house when you're not fighting the sun. I gotta sleep in a cool room. Here at the Island I keep it cooler than my better insulated house.
Off when I'm at work, on a timer to fire up an hour before I get home. 72 while I'm home and 68 at night.

The thermostat is on the other side of the room from the wall unit. 71 is the set point for 77 across the room.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
I don't have central A/C as it's only really hot enough to need A/C a few weeks a year... but when it is, I set my little portable A/C at about 66f/18c overnight
I want governments to take emissions more seriously.... but 100 companies are responsible for 70% of emissions, so my 8 hours of A/C use a few weeks a year is a fart in the wind and they can fuck off. Energy is so damn cheap in Vancouver too because we have hydro, so my bill only goes up a few bucks a month in the summer.
I kicked my Aircon to the curb. I open the windows at night , then shutters during day.
Big ceiling fans essential though
Trust me, if I could have the a/c set to arctic at night I would. That's why I have the heat down so low in the winter, it's the only time I can keep the bedroom that cool without the wife bitching

"set to arctic"..
Same here, I love sleeping in a freezing cold room.
I read someone explain the biology behind it a while back. Basically it's something to do with the millennia of humans living under the stars and sleeping at night when it cools down being programmed into us. Most of us need our body temp to fall 2 or 3 degrees to be able to fall asleep still as a result. It's also part of the reason it feels so good to take a hot shower before bed, it's not only relaxing but as you're drying off you cool down and get sleepy.
My cat on the other hand... he likes to take a shit right around the time we go to bed, and that gets him fired up to tear ass around the house for 45 minutes when we're trying to fall asleep
I like the heat and most of you USA'ers are a bunch of heatbags living in a sauna
