Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.

This right here. As a firefighter I’ve seen it. Also nowadays if the door is open I can’t sleep…I just keep opening my eyes and seeing that open door…

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!

[-] Agr8lemon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Door Inspector here. Do you have a permit to install a door inside another door?

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...

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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

[-] packardgoose@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 15 points 1 year ago

Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow.

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 unless it's too hot in my room. Feels uncomfortable leaving my door open. It'll let me hear killers coming

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] StarServal@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

My country is extremely dangerous, so we have locks in every door and their reinforcements. So no, im never sleeping with a door open.

closed. Don't want to see no ghosts up for a midnight stroll through my halls.

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

Open, because my cat sleeps on my bed/floor

[-] berkeleyblue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Open so my cats don’t kill me.

[-] kite@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE

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.

[-] sparky678348@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

If my door is closed my kitty cat will constantly remind me of that

[-] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Always closed. Gives me a fighting chance against the nocturnal intruders ya know?

Not fully closed, so the cat it's less annoying through all the night.

[-] ryannathans@lemmy.fmhy.net 9 points 1 year ago

Closed, safer when fire

[-] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

closed door because roomates, but open balcony door for maximum fresh air and feels of nature.

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Door closed, but windows open and fan on

[-] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 8 points 1 year ago

Closed. The missus and I can be... active at times, and we have nocturnal teenagers.
