You realize that not all homes have thermostats, right? Where I live our summers are cool enough and our winters warm enough that there is no need for climate controlled homes. This has the concequence of widely fluctuating internal temperatures, especially in homes that are poorly insulated which is usually the case for older homes.

Indeed! I lived in Seattle for 12 years, no air conditioning, it'd be lucky to break 70f in winter, and may be 75f+ during summer morning tea brewing period.

    5 is a minimum swing, The swing could be as much as 20-25 degrees, during summer, I would regularly wake up to an apartment in the low 60's and it would be 85 by the afternoon.
