Closed. I have an 18 year old who has been working the closing shift a lot this summer. I don't want to be woken.

If my door is closed my kitty cat will constantly remind me of that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Closed and locked. (Trauma likely)

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 except cat so always open now :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

closed door because roomates, but open balcony door for maximum fresh air and feels of nature.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Closed, i don't like mosquitoes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Closed and locked. Open doors in the dark are creepy. Besides I want some privacy for certain "tasks".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Open to get some air exchange

I would have thought that would be a reason to keep it closed!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I lock my kids away in the cupboard under the stairs.

Closed because kids

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

When sleeping, me close door

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sleeping in the house's veranda, so no doors πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

Open for air circulation. My fiancee and I live in a too-small, old apartment which, naturally, has trash airflow. Getting the AC to decently reach the bedroom requires multiple fans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Open when I was at my house. Closed as I'm renting an apartment now with several flatmates.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 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.
