Assuming you are coming home every evening and not living in a really cold area, your house must be badly isolated if it cools down so significantly during the day.
I don't know about them specifically but my family generally did set the automatic timers on the thermostat. Down to 55 when no one was home back up to 68 slightly before people were supposed to be home
Do you really turn your heat down a statistically significant amount for 8-10 hours a day when you are away from home?
Yes, I do. It saves easily 50 kWh of natural gas consumption per day.
On the days nobody will be home, we just let the thermostaat on 13 degrees Celsius for the whole day. When we are home it's 18 degrees during the day.

It's reasonably insulated - above average for my location, but it does get cold in the winter.
Obviously, I'm only saving this heating fuel on the colder winter days.
