  Mine is about 16c active and 20c passive indoors. A little lower outside in direct sunlight and little wind.

  We have our house set to 68F/20C during the day and 65F/18.3C at night and that works, although it means I dont sleep nude in the winter like I do in the summer. Our smart thermostat tries to slowly lower the temp and we definitely notice when that happens. It tried to sneak in 65F day and 63F/17.2C at night before we manually overrode the system. Outside with the sun shining Ive walked the 200 yards or so to the bathrooms at camp as low as 63F without much trouble but for longer walks will put on at least a top below around the same 68F.

  We are spending the New Years weekend at camp and I want to do a nude walk outside to celebrate. It will be around 50F/10C during the day, so I am guessing the walk will be a very short one with a single lap around our cabin.

After that, the body heat keeps me warm under the quilt.

  The problem is when the dogs get us up and ask to go out. Way to cold to walk around the house nude if the thermostat is set too low. Also way to cold to open the sliding door to let them out when nude!

  If it's cold I wear warm clothing. Don't see the point of spending more money on heating just to be nude. It is common sense to dress according to temperature.

  Were not too far out of the norm; our thermostat is usually set at 69F in the winter and about 77F in the summer. We have some medical issues so we cant go overboard with the settings. Were lucky our house is fairly well energy efficient and has fans in every room so were fine.

  In Canada here, keep the thermostat at 21C during the day, which is comfortable for me to stay naked while my wife wears a sweater or light fleece to be comfortable. So that works for both of us. At night, set at 17C, I sleep naked and it is sometimes too warm for me under the duvet. Wife wears flannel pj's and socks! We definitely have very different body temperature regulation!!

After that, I will dress unless I am going to be active. Wife is dressed the whole time. She usually showers in the evening. In bed, I am nude and she is in flannel or fleece pajamas and socks.

  I sleep nude all the year round and it is more healthy. Being comletely naked allows the organ called the skin to work properly and keep the body temperature correct. I went through a period of walked naked outside for 10 to 15 minutes all through the winter and after a while your body feels warm. Nudity is the key, partial clothing sends mixed signals to the brain
