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

Closed, i don't like mosquitoes.

Sleeping with the door open should be a crime

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

The closed door also dampens outside noise.

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.

When sleeping, me close door

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

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

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

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

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 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] 4 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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 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.

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.

I don't have a door

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

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

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

Open, so I can see and hear out.

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

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

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