Who the hell keeps their house at 68F?! 74-78 is my preferred temp but I can cope all the way to 85. But you turn that below 70 and we're gonna have a problem (both in the "I'm fucking cold, bitch" sense as well as the "do you own the electrical company or something? I didn't know you're a billionaire")
I start to sweat if it's much above 21 (70 F) indoors, I prefer it to be around 18 (64.4F) to 19 (66F). Of course that is in winter where outside temps are well below freezing, in the summer I tend to sleep in the basement during the hottest period since I can't sleep if it's too hot
I did the math:
Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).
20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.
20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.
AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.
F=1.8C+32 but for anyone else too lazy to do the math since the Americans are awake:
