      There are indeed studies but they place the low cutoff at 18°C not at 20°.

      For countries with temperate or colder climates, 18 °C has been proposed as a safe and well-balanced indoor temperature to protect the health of general populations during cold seasons.

        And sleeping is about 1/3 of the day, where your metabolism, circulation and breath behave quite differently than during awake times.

        If someone feels more comfortable at lower temperatures while awake that is perfectly fine. If all of the population heats less though that will result in more colds.
