Sounds like you may have an older less efficient air conditioner. Newer units are 45 to 90% more efficient. You might consider putting in a mini split unit in your bedroom for sleeping. That way you don't have to lower the thermostat at night just to cool the bedroom down. We did that and despite running the additional unit at night, it lowered our ekectric bill.
