I have a 2nd living room upstairs, so I have the window Air conditioner in that room, my brother puts his in the window in the upper hallway at the top of the stairs.
You release a lot of water while sleeping and bedding holds a lot of water making it uncomfortable so drying out your bed room makes sense to me, the idea is not to chill the house but instead to dry it out and dump the heat outside, I have to have the air conditioner run a lot longer if I want to chill the house, but if I set it to dehumidify then it drys the air pretty quick, making it feel cooler without being cold and without using a lot of energy because the greater the heat difference is between two areas the greater the losses.
