Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.
This right here. As a firefighter Iβve seen it. Also nowadays if the door is open I canβt sleepβ¦I just keep opening my eyes and seeing that open doorβ¦

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!
Yep, I had a cat that would paw on the door if it wasn't open. I decided to see how long he'd stick with it. My sanity broke at 2 hours. He won and it was open from that night forward.
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?
I was granted one upon presenting my previously tattered door. The cat was declared innocent, and I didn't press charges

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, got to keep separation from the pets so I can sleep peacefully. Don't need a cat purrkoring off my face at 3 am.

Open, because cat
I feel exposed if it's swung all the way open though. I just leave it ajar for the kitty.

Closed. Open is a fire hazard.
Is that true?
It sure is; here's a video demonstrating the effectiveness. Shutting your door can mean the difference between life and death. I encourage anyone to watch or re-watch this, just to hammer it home.
Unfortunately, my cats can't deal with shut doors, so if there's ever a fire in my apartment, at least we'll all go together π

Using thermal imaging cameras, researchers found that closed-door rooms on both floors during the fireβs spread had average temperatures of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit versus 1000+ degrees in the open-door rooms. βYou could see a markable difference that a person could be alive in a room with a closed door much longer,β says Kerber.
Gas concentrations were markedly different as well. The open-door bedroom measured an extremely toxic 10,000 PPM CO (parts per million of Carbon Monoxide), while the closed had approximately 100 PPM CO.

Closed. If there's a fire in the other parts of your house, you'll have more time to be alerted and escape.
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.

Closed. Damn cat. She's not looking to snuggle into bed. She wants to wake you up. Why? Who knows.

Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it's actually fine in there and they don't need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.

Closed for AC, but open a crack to let the clingy cat in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out.
My country is extremely dangerous, so we have locks in every door and their reinforcements. So no, im never sleeping with a door open.

Open, because my cat sleeps on my bed/floor
Closed unless it's too hot in my room. Feels uncomfortable leaving my door open. It'll let me hear killers coming
closed. Don't want to see no ghosts up for a midnight stroll through my halls.
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
Always closed. Gives me a fighting chance against the nocturnal intruders ya know?

Closed. I have an 18 year old who has been working the closing shift a lot this summer. I don't want to be woken.
After reading that pretty much everyone that doesn't have a cat/dog sleeps with a closed door makes me feel like a weirdo but open door, I don't see the point of closing the door when I live alone and fire isn't a concern I have > it's basically impossible that it reaches my bedroom

CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.

If my door is closed my kitty cat will constantly remind me of that
I prefer open, but I got a cat a few months ago that wonβt leave me alone if I leave it open. So, closed.

Not fully closed, so the cat it's less annoying through all the night.
Closed. Otherwise dog sneaks in, climbs up on the bed and falls asleep. The he slowly but surely takes over the whole bed.
