When sleeping, door open or closed?
Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?
SouthEndSunset, Door closed, all the time. In case a cat gets in. But I’ve always slept with the door shut, in case monsters get in.
CeruleanRuin, 
Closed, because of cats.
Oh and also for fire safety, I guess.
Bloodwoodsrisen, 
Door open, windows covered. Allows the pets in and out and keeps my anxiety of people looking into my room on the low. Bonus for black-out curtains
kite, CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.
TimewornTraveler, closed except cat so always open now :(
CanadaPlus, Open, so I can see and hear out.
wieli99, Open to get some air exchange
EtzBetz, Closed. The only door I have is the door to the house floor, sooo…
Well, I have the bathroom door which I always leave open for ventilation reasons, but well.
berkeleyblue, 
Open so my cats don’t kill me.
nueonetwo, I keep mine closed but not latched so the dogs can open it in the morning otherwise they sit outside and scratch and wake us up.
CeruleanRuin, (edited ) You could train them to stop that.
h_a_r_u_k_i, 
Open when I was at my house. Closed as I’m renting an apartment now with several flatmates.
TheMightyCanuck, Open. I have dogs and cats. I wouldn’t get a second of sleep if i locked either dogs or cats out of the bedroom
wolfylow, Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.
GBU_28, Closed. Even a simple hollow core door can offer 30 minutes or more of protection from smoke and indirect fire. More time for alarms to go off and get to safety.
Pulptastic, Fire protection 101. Closed bedroom doors, interconnected smoke alarms so when one goes off they all go off, and at least two exits per room.
We have fire ladders in the upstairs rooms and, most importantly, we’ve done drills so we know how to use them.
corsicanguppy, we’ve done drills so we know how to use them.
Had a house fire in '88. You’re a fucking hero on that with actually practicing. We were dumb but super lucky as we just lost everything and noone.
CanadaPlus, Hmm, I never considered that. If you have working alarms does this still make a difference?
GBU_28, Sometimes, a perfectly terrible fire (in a perfectly unlucky layout of a house) could emit toxic gases / smoke in sufficient quantities to impair you, potentially to the point of not being able to react to the alarm. At that point you may not escape.
AceFuzzLord, Closed. I prefer my door closed for privacy reasons, so why would I keep it open when I sleep?
