People have a lot of variabilities as to how well they can handle cold temperatures, or the summer heat. You will notice that from Dec through March that some people rapidly enter a swimming pool - some take a long time to get used to the water - and some just stay on their recliner all winter. Rather than waste money by heating the whole home, you could use a space heater or an electric blanket at night.
