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

When sleeping, me close door
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
Closed because Iβm afraid of the dark most times. My cats donβt care they run around the living room. Dog sleeps with me on the floor at the bed to protect me.
Both, because I'm lazy. Whatever the door is at is how it will stay.
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.

Life hack: third floor in a concrete building.
- no one's coming in
- 4 fob doors to get to me
- it ain't burning
- better air above the trees
- centralized heating often includes cooling (old-ass jersey-style radiators are the bomb)
Open in summer, for ventilation. In winter it stays closed to let the bedroom be chilly, without affecting the rest of the place.
Closed, because I don't wanna be snuck on.
closed
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.

Don't have a door but a stair. Don't need a door cause I'm the king of the castle
Door closed, all the time. In case a cat gets in. But Iβve always slept with the door shut, in case monsters get in.
I keep mine slightly open and make sure there is a window open in my room and in another room to create a breeze
Depends, if it's hot enough to need the AC, door closed. If not, door open so I can open the window and get some airflow.
Door open if it's hot, usually with the fan pointing out the door. If it's REALLY hot, fan directly on me.
Door half open so the cats can walk back and forth, but not so much that itβs too light in the morning.
Open because of the damn cat. We love her though.
closed unless it's hot. closed gives me privacy and quiet and makes it darker, but if it's too hot having it open gives me better airflow.
Open. I want to hear if anything happens in my house.
Ajar
Fire vs CO2 buildup. I guess door closed, window open could be the way?
