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

I live on my own so all the doors in the flat are open all the time, even the bathroom ones.

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

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.

Closed, i don't like mosquitoes.

Sleeping with the door open should be a crime

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.

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

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

Open both for airflow and because we have animals that do not like to be restricted.

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.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Closed, keeps the dogs in so they don't leave us a surprise.

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.

Window open, door closed; window closed, door open. I do what I can to prevent unnecessary door slamming in the night caused by a draft from the window

[–] Oha@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Khotetsu@lib.lgbt 4 points 1 year 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)
[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Open, so I can see and hear out.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] soben@orcas.enjoying.yachts 3 points 1 year 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 when I was at my house. Closed as I'm renting an apartment now with several flatmates.

[–] ElkanNixed@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't have a door

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