Open to get some air exchange

[–] sneakycow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Closed almost all the way, but not shut. Need that air circulation otherwise the room gets too hot

[–] fourohfour@lemmy.fmhy.net 8 points 1 year ago

Open a crack so the cat doesn't wake me up at 4am.

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Door closed, but windows open and fan on

Closed. The missus and I can be... active at times, and we have nocturnal teenagers.

Closed as I don't really want my roommates to check in on me sleeping

[–] hare_ware@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

Bed room door closed, but usually not locked. 8 sentry turrets have the outer perimeter of the house secured. /s

[–] june@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I prefer open, but I got a cat a few months ago that won’t leave me alone if I leave it open. So, closed.

Closed, I already have scars from our cat's mad night escapades.

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Open, because I have a split AC in the living room of my bungalow and the bedrooms get warm even with the doors open. Also the dog and cat would never allow a closed door, and they rule this roost.

[–] OrkneyKomodo@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

I removed the door from the bedroom, so 'open', I guess.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

closed except cat so always open now :(

[–] wth@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Closed. Otherwise dog sneaks in, climbs up on the bed and falls asleep. The he slowly but surely takes over the whole bed.

[–] wolfylow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.

[–] Osirus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

We have a saying in our house... "ghosts" that means close the door we are going to sleep and don't want to let the ghosts in. Closed. Always closed.

Prefer closed, but like many others here, the cat doesn’t allow for that without making her opinion VERY well known.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Closed and locked. (Trauma likely)

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] chicagohuman@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But then the night air will get in.

Open. I live alone and I have a cat that comes and goes throughout the night. Having the door opened allows me to hear anything that should not be going on in the house.

Depends on the outside temperature.

If it's warm outside, all my flat's windows are open and for better airflow I leave all doors open, too.

If it's cold outside, everything is closed to retain the heat in my bedroom.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Closed. My housemate's cats sometimes pounce onto my bed and wake me up.

The closed door also dampens outside noise.

When sleeping, me close door

[–] dobeltip@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Closed, i don't like mosquitoes.

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Greatly prefer it closed, but leave it cracked for the kitty.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I am staying in a men's hostel. Cheaper that way as I am single. It is so hot here during summer. So we keep the door open at night. Three of us are there in the room. Everyone is ok with that.

Closed, air-conditioning is expensive. When me and my wife travel to colder areas we do tend to sleep with doors open though but it highly depends on the house itself. There has to be a certain vibe or fenshui so to speak where open door feels pleasant and not this uncertainty.

[–] cyberic@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

Both, because I'm lazy. Whatever the door is at is how it will stay.
