Have you tried getting a manual?
Call Sunshine for service and they will go over all functions with you.

Best Temperature to Sleep: Research and Sleep Tips

Being in a comfortable environment is essential for healthy sleep. Keeping your sleeping quarters at a temperature near 65°F (18.3°C), give or take a few degrees, is ideal.

Your body’s temperature decreases during sleep, and a cool, but not cold, room will help you settle into and maintain sleep throughout the night.

A mini split for the room could be a solution too.

Some AC companies put a lock on the thermostat so it won’t go below 68. We bought a new home in Fenney in 2017 and that happened to us. When I called Sun Kool they told us they do that so the ax won’t freeze. I told them to come out and undo it which they did and then I heard a spiel about the warranty not being good if something happens when I set it below 68. That’s bogus. Anyway you most likely will need an ac person to come out and unlock it unless you can find how to do it on you tube. You can find everything there.

From reading some of your previous posts, I assume that you were mixing humor with common sense. Amazing how many people took you so seriously.

As a retired commercial plumbing and heating contractor, you are correct. Most of the time they are trying to scare you so they wont have to fix or adjust something, falsely claiming "it will void the warranty".

He sounded serious to me. This is what they had to do before AC. I never do this cause it gives me a sore throat in the morning.

No matter what I do, I’m not able to set the ac below 68*

We just moved to a pre-owned gardenia model and for sleeping hours we like 65* or lower. We actually are used to very cold weather and just want it cooler during sleep.

Maybe its not possible????
Thank you
For the next 10 days evening temperatures forecast are between 45 to 55 just open the widows

Running a fan in the bedroom all night can cause dry eye syndrome, per my eye doctor.

WHILE IN CONFIGURATION MODE
The option number is displayed in the heat setpoint location and the configuration
setting is displayed in the cool setpoint location. On the TP--PRH--A, --B
(programmable) model, a box will surround the option number. The mode button is
used to move the box between the two displayed values. The soft keys below the
listed values may also be used to move the box between selected values. The value
inside the box is changed by using the UP/DOWN buttons. On the TP--NRH--A, --B
(non--programmable) model, one of the values will be flashing. The mode button is
used to change which value is flashing or the Home and Sleep buttons may also be
used to select which value to flash. The value that is flashing is changed by using
the UP/DOWN buttons. All changes made are saved at the time of selection and
will be saved in the event of the 3 minute time--out or when installer exits from
configuration menu.

Option 26
Is there a reference that lists all the settings in the Configuration mode? I am not able to find one on the Carrier website.
