Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed

[the game]

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed? I prefer mine to be closed. It's quieter in the room and I've read in the past that if there's a fire in the house then having the door closed will give a little extra time to get out through a window or something.

Open cause of dogs.

Closed cause of cat dander

Closed, locked, sometimes even with my chair parked in front of it... Even when completely alone.

Living in a college dorm my freshman year basically left me paranoid. Resident assistants and dorm maintenance at my school had no regard for privacy at all, they would knock on the door and if you didn't instantly open it, they let themselves in. I rarely scheduled early AM classes, so most days I was still asleep early in the morning. So many times over that year I would wake up and there would be random people going through my room doing whatever shit they needed to do while I was asleep. And they never gave notice either, there was never like a note on my door that said "hey next Tuesday we will be replacing your faucet at 8am" or something... They would just arbitrarily show up and do things like that; happened every other couple weeks the entire time I was there.

Don't think I will ever sleep soundly again unless I can barricade whatever door I am sleeping behind.

Almost closed... so technically open, even if it is almost closed.

I have curtains that are specifically made to block light. I dont mean those thin sheets of fabric that let most of light trough anyway. I mean those thick curtains that darken the room almost entirely.

If my door is closed, it is sometimes difficult to see in the dark room where door actually is. Yeah. Thats right. When its slightly open I can see the light coming from behind it and accurately find it immediately even, if I just woke up and i'm half awake.

[Splenda]

Closed, I have 2 pets, not allowed in my room without supervision.

[Rozz]

Open. It keeps my rabbit from getting restless at night and destroying my stuff in retaliation. He needs to run when he needs to.

[Daedius]

Closed, hallway light is left on.

The word you're looking for is "ajar".

[Kumorii]

No door, no choice.

[XDurionX]

Door closed, open window. Corridor is next to the staircase which is made of old wood and very noisy when someone walks down.

[Chinese Bootlickers]

Open to keep the air flowing unless it's winter, then it's closed. Baby gates are pretty effective at keeping the doggos out when I'm not there.

I love doing this because of a light that's always on downstairs, it makes my ceiling look like the Pale Blue Dot photo.

[breadisfunny]

closed so the draenei hussys can't get me.

[Forgettable]

I can't close the door because I have a chin-up bar in the doorway. Well I could take the chin-up bar down I guess, but I'm the only one who lives in my apartment, sooo...

[Dacien]

Closed because it's much cheaper to run a space heater + PC than it is to run my full heating for the entire condo.

Running to the fridge for a drink and back from a 75-ish degree room through a 45 degree house is an art form.

[Jotaux]

Open, I live alone and my cat hates closed doors.

[Dacien]

That’s how you burst pipes. Hope your condo is winterized properly.

It never gets below 40 degrees where I live. That's basically the temperature floor.

[Dacien]

I believe the lowest most plumbers recommend setting your thermostat to is 50 degrees in the winter (if you’re not home) to avoid pipes from freezing/bursting.

Up to you, though.

I have to assume that's for locales where the temperature drops below freezing. If the temperature never gets near 32 degrees I can't imagine a scenario where pipes could burst. My understanding was pipes burst due to freezing temperatures.

Your pipes will not burst or freeze at 50F (10C), unless piping abroad is a lot different to over here.

OT: Doors closed and pitch black, can't stand any noise or light.

Exposed pipes are vulnerable to bursting because if the water is not being used and is stagnant in the pipe it can cause the water to freeze and expand and obviously penetrate the pipe, that requires temperatures below freezing, of course. The majority of bursts outside are caused by a constant change from hot to cold weather which causes the ground to move and gradually chip at the pipe. This varies depending on the material and age of the pipe, and what the excavation to lay the pipe has been backfilled with. An example would be if the ground is backfilled with hard stone instead of sand, then this is more likely to gradually attack the pipe and likely to cause a burst at some point.

Depends, if the cat is sleeping In the room then closed if he isn't then opened. But it really doesn't matter, he knows how to open the door by jumping on a door handle

Thats if it gets colder outside. if 40 is the lowest it goes period he won't have issues with freezing

science is science. aside from pressure changes water will only freeze at 32/0 or below.
