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

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.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

closed except cat so always open now :(

[–] OrkneyKomodo@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] hare_ware@pawb.social 7 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

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 2 years ago

Closed and locked. (Trauma likely)

[–] Coeus@coeus.sbs 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

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

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

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

The closed door also dampens outside noise.

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

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 5 points 2 years ago

When sleeping, me close door

[–] dobeltip@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Closed, i don't like mosquitoes.

[–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Sleeping with the door open should be a crime

[–] oktupol@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years 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

[–] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] Oha@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] soben@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 2 years 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
