Forced Hot Air Heat….how To Keep A Constant Temperature?

I have a forced hot air heating system in my apartment. When I set the thermostat to 68, the temp in the room goes the whole way down to 62 before the heat comes on and then goes up to 74 before the heat turns off. This is freezing me and costing me a fortune!! Is this a problem with the thermostat (its an old mercury one) or is it the nature of the forced hot air system? I could buy a digital thermostat, would that help??
Please, only people who know what they are talking about!
