Typically, the AC is kept at a cool 81 degrees year-round with the exception of the few Winter weeks when the temperatures drop below cold, but lIke I said, this is a sparse occurrence, but when the temperatures are that low, I tend to let the dogs sleep in the bed with me strictly for warmth purposes.
I like our pets as much as the next guy, but it took me a long time to get to the point where I was comfortable with them sleeping with me in the bed at evening. I have a history of not sleeping well, and any small thing wakes me up and keeps me awake for hours on end; My dogs had never tried sleeping in our bed until there was a certainly bad thunderstorm 1 Summer evening, then the thunder and lightning this storm brought were surprisingly loud and overwhelming. That was the evening they tried to get into the bed. Another thing that keeps me awake at evening is not being able to sleep due to being too hot. I keep the thermostat certainly low while I am sleeping and I am lucky that our wifey is also a overheated sleeper.

The evening of the thunderstorm sent the dogs into a tizzy that kept them coming back to the bed evening after evening, then now, the dogs sleep in our bed each evening no matter what. I keep the temperature about the same and they like that I let them sleep in the bed. Luckily, all of us haven’t experienced another storm like that 1.
