I turn the upstairs air conditioner down on 70 every night before I go to bed because its naturally hot in my room, and my dad ALWAYS comes up there and turns it up to like 85... so I wake up in sweat too!

I don't know why he turns it up, when the upstairs has nothing to do with how cold it is downstairs..
Unless the two areas have some sort of barrier, one does affect the other - heat rises, but cold sinks!

We rarely plug in or turn on the AC - Paul likes hot weather. Also, unless we have a prolonged heatwave, the house can stay pretty cool because of the trees around it and the hill behind it.
