Go to bed, have one blanket over whole bed, one folded in half over feet, legs, another folded in half that I sometimes pull up all the way. The first blanket sometimes I pull down so I only have the sheet over my torso.
Day & night = complete opposites.
Summertime, heat only bothers me at night.
Have not heated the house at all in 4 + years.

Install a heat pump. You want to be comforatable and the price of operation is really nominal. At high thirties and low forties you do need some heat. You will sleep a lot better at night in the hotter summer as well with at least some moderate air conditioning from it
As a prompt you cannot take any money where you are going eventually anyways. Plus you do require more heat usually as you age.
