You can get fancy electronic (or even electromechanical) room
thermostats where you can set a temperature profile to vary during the
day.

I'm not sure how easy they are to use though. Probably not very :/

About £50 ISTR. Dead easy to use if you can program a video recorder.
especially useful if you're (semi) retired like me as you can
gradually work downwards half a degree (or finer) at a time until you
find a comfortable setting, and it has manual override available at
any time. Mine has 5 timer periods per day: wouldn't be without it
now.
