Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

Usually closed because I like to be naked, but I would prefer it open for the pets to come and go as they please.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

I want it closed, but the dog wants it open and his litter box is in the hallway. So, open it is.

[–] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Closed because I’m afraid of the dark most times. My cats don’t care they run around the living room. Dog sleeps with me on the floor at the bed to protect me.

[–] Oha@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Closed. Like to keep my room temperature like 10Β°C lower the rest of the house during the night

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Open but I live alone in a small 1 bedroom apartment. Mostly so I can shuffle to the bathroom in the night if needed without needing to open the door

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Closed. I prefer my door closed for privacy reasons, so why would I keep it open when I sleep?

[–] soben@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cracked open so we can hear across the house to our kids room (also cracked open)… baby gates in front of both rooms to prevent the cats from disturbing our sleep lol

Open - just me and my husband here and it keeps the room cooler.

I don't have a door

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

All depends on whether you live with other people or not. If others can be in the house making noise then door closed. If you live alone then it doesn’t matter.

[–] ghashul@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

Open in summer, for ventilation. In winter it stays closed to let the bedroom be chilly, without affecting the rest of the place.

[–] jasonbcfcufc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Closed, because I don't wanna be snuck on.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Open, so I can see and hear out.

Don't have a door but a stair. Don't need a door cause I'm the king of the castle

[–] Khotetsu@lib.lgbt 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Open. The decline of the political climate in this country since 2001 has made me fear for my safety since I was in middle school, so keeping the door open helps satisfy that part of my brain that's always in threat detection mode by allowing me to hear everything in the house from my bed.

Plus, I live alone. So pretty much every door is open all the time.

Life hack: third floor in a concrete building.

  • no one's coming in
  • 4 fob doors to get to me
  • it ain't burning
  • better air above the trees
  • centralized heating often includes cooling (old-ass jersey-style radiators are the bomb)

[–] Treefox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Closed cause I don't want to deal with people walking around late at night with lights on or the cats waking me up.

[–] strongarm@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago
[–] InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Open. If my kids need help and call out in the middle of the night, I would like to hear them!

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Open because of the damn cat. We love her though.

[–] WizzCaleeba@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Closed...because of the damn cats. I guess I like them though.

Open to keep the Monsters out, closed to keep the Monsters in.

[–] writerlygal@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Door half open so the cats can walk back and forth, but not so much that it’s too light in the morning.

[–] y2cwr2005@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Door open if it's hot, usually with the fan pointing out the door. If it's REALLY hot, fan directly on me.

[–] DelvianSeek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Depends, if it's hot enough to need the AC, door closed. If not, door open so I can open the window and get some airflow.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.
