Yes.

I agree.

One should ALWAYS buy an AC with the capacity to lower the room temp to below 20, even in the hottest of weather.

 

For me and my bedroom, I can get the temp down to about 18 degrees C.

However, of course, this takes time

 

My bedroom AC has enough capacity that....if I were to turn it down to 16 degrees C, then the room goes to about 18.

 

Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night, freezing.

 

In the mornings, with the bedroom temp so low, 18, it's not easy to get out of bed knowing that one must brave the cold air in my bedroom.

 

In fact, during this Hot Season, I have never been so cold at night.

 

Good sleeping weather, though....

 

 

 

 

Why do you live in Los when you want to sleep in a place that's 16/18 C .

Go live back in a cold country where you don't need a AC and the temp goes down to Zero.

Yes that's not a bad idea ,but for most people that would be too far Back and wouldn't be able to make it back there they wouldn't be able to survive.

Are we happier than what we were 50 years ago? I would say not.

 

Return to nature. Ditch the mobile. Smash the TV. Keep the fan though.

Why do you want to gatekeep what other people consider a comfortable sleeping temperature? 

rather a stupid line to draw don't you think? Why should you give a <deleted> what other people like?

There is NOWHERE on Earth, these days, that does not require AC.

 

If you like it HOT, move to India.

 

There exist quite a few studies to substantiate that sleep is optimal at around 16 to 18 degrees C.

You realise the stupidity of this comment... 

 

Its like suggesting someone moves to their home country if they are asking where they can get a decent burger, or buy a good BBQ... 

 

Having Air-Con is a facet of being in Thailand - one now ingrained throughout culture, throughout society.

Only the poorest do not have AC in their homes.

Back on Topic - OP... If your AC is on, working, but is not cooling your room to a comfortable temperature - then its not working.

I beg the differ There are many countries that don't use AC .

Optimal temp for sleeping differs from country to country ,that 16/18  Temp is something that someone pulled out of their hat. that's is just Cr@p

Dude, you are living on the 33rd floor. Even Icarus would have said that is way too close to the sun. His son would have tried and burned his wings.

My suggestion would be to move to the 1 st floor. 😂
