Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?
Closed, to keep the monsters out.
Closed and LOCKED. What if the monsters can open doors?
I do keep mine licked because my cat (who may or may not be a monster) will open the door if I don’t.
I guess you have to be a cat person to understand licking doors.
what if the monsters are ghosts
Ghosts have to stay out if the door is closed, it’s the law.
Closed, got to keep separation from the pets so I can sleep peacefully. Don’t need a cat purrkoring off my face at 3 am.
Lol @ purrkoring
open so cats can walk freely
Indeed. It is not us that sleep with the door open. It’s the cats’ choice.
I’m the opposite. I like it when the cat curls up on my feet, but I’m not a fan of just letting them stalk through the house and jump around freely when I’m trying to flipping sleep.
They can’t not do that, so they get shut out. And I taught them early on that if they yowl and scratch at the door on the middle of the night, they’re just gonna get launched down the stairs.
Cats only get to be the boss if you let them. They absolutely can be trained to not be total tyrants.
Door open. My kitty sleeps in bed with me and she likes to come and go in the night, she’d wake me up if the door was closed!
I installed a little door in my door for this exact reason. Best of both worlds.
Door Inspector here. Do you have a permit to install a door inside another door?
Xzibit said it was okay.
I was granted one upon presenting my previously tattered door. The cat was declared innocent, and I didn’t press charges
I believe you. I will let you off with a warning because you have a presumably cute cat.
Do we get a cat tax here‽
Closed. Damn cat. She’s not looking to snuggle into bed. She wants to wake you up. Why? Who knows.
Open. I have dogs and cats. I wouldn’t get a second of sleep if i locked either dogs or cats out of the bedroom
closed except cat so always open now :(
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.
Open, because cat
Closed, because cat
Closed. Even a simple hollow core door can offer 30 minutes or more of protection from smoke and indirect fire. More time for alarms to go off and get to safety.
Fire protection 101. Closed bedroom doors, interconnected smoke alarms so when one goes off they all go off, and at least two exits per room.
We have fire ladders in the upstairs rooms and, most importantly, we’ve done drills so we know how to use them.

Had a house fire in '88. You’re a fucking hero on that with actually practicing. We were dumb but super lucky as we just lost everything and noone.
Hmm, I never considered that. If you have working alarms does this still make a difference?
Sometimes, a perfectly terrible fire (in a perfectly unlucky layout of a house) could emit toxic gases / smoke in sufficient quantities to impair you, potentially to the point of not being able to react to the alarm. At that point you may not escape.
Closed because many years ago a firefighter gave a fire safety talk at our elementary school. He told us to keep the door closed at night since it can give you an extra 30 minutes to escape in a fire. For some reason this advice stuck with me…

Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.
Open to get some air exchange
Open because pets
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
