Perhaps you need to investigate proper temperature control if your house
can get too hot due to the CH being on.

I think that he was saying that is seems wasteful to heat the house at
night and then when it is warmed further by the sun in the morning, be
opening doors and windows to let the hot air out, when he could stay
warmer in the evening by wearing more and let the house warm up
naturally the next day.

I'd say it's always wasteful to heat the house at night.

Not when you stay up late and someone else gets up early.

And a decent
system will compensate if it suddenly gets warm outside during the morning.

The point is that keeping the house warm overnight or heating it up in
the morning seems wasteful if the sun does the job by itself later in
the morning.
