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

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

Closed in the winter, Open most of the summer so that the whole house fan can pull air in and through the bedroom cooling things down.

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.

Sleeping with the door open should be a crime

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Open but these fire comments have me reevaluating

I prefer closed, but since our cat moved in, the door has been left ajar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Open, so I can see and hear out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

Came here to say the same. Used to be closed then I got a cat and now I can't imagine waking up without her napping on me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

open, I need the connection to the rest of the world.

[–] [email protected] 2 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

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

Also our gate to prevent the kids from barging in during the middle of the night

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

Train them to stop that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.

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

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