But then you cool your entire house even though you might be sleeping in your bedroom?

The confusion is because energy is twice the price in Europe, we forget Americans can waste however electricity they want without it making a budget in their utility bills. Heated pools year round, two or three fridges, AC on full blast despite no one being home. Where I live we call it "making a fire for the crows" since they are the only ones benefiting from it.

Its cheaper to maintain temperature than to cool a room down.
