Do you sleep with your bedroom door closed?

My bedroom just has stairs, no door. When sleeping in a doored room, I always keep it open. Dunno why, I just feel closed in otherwise.

Pekoe (one of our cats) would have a fit (and has...). He's got issues with closed doors.

pretty much always. I got into the habit when I lived with a cat, and am now simply in the habit. Besides, my SO is twitchy about keeping the door closed, so it ends up closed whether I close it or not.

Only when other people are still up and they have the kitchen light on or are loud. When it's quiet and the light is off I like having the door open because the light from the nightlight shines in. I like having a nightlight.

I can't stand the door being open.

I prefer to have the door closed as a matter of privacy, but I can't actually see the door from my bed so I very occasionally don't notice that it's open.

Yes, otherwise the rats in the living room keep me awake with their noise. (They're pets, not vermin! )

We have a child in the house, so we sleep with the bedroom door ajar, in case she cries out for something in the night.

wait a bloody minute....how could we have two different answers?

Open, you fool!

Not wide open, but pushed as far closed as it will go without latching. I'd count that as closed. Who you callin' "fool", fool?

My cat scratches at the door if I close it, so I leave it open for him. Plus if it is hot I get better ventilation with the door open.

I almost always sleep with my bedroom door closed. The only reason I won't is if "scoop" my cat wants in or out.

jjg - It depends on how thirsty I am. I think we need a vote on this one. Or a ruling from the survey creator. Hunter, does it have to be latched to count as closed?

And locked.

I can't get to sleep if the doors open.

When my SO who is allergic to my cat is here, I do. Otherwise, I tend to leave it open a crack for her furry highness to wander in and out.

Fooyun- and *locked* ? do you live with people you do not trust, or simply prefer that extra symbol of privacy? I'd be afraid to sleep in a locked room, in case the house caught on fire and someone had to come rouse me.

The cats would never allow a closed bedroom door. :)

My door is easily break-downable...I just need the extra privacy. My grandma likes to look in on me during the night because she's overprotective. She doesn't know I sleep in the nude sometimes.

The door has a tendency to close itself, so we keep it propped open at all times... it is never kept shut.

Always - there's a hall light right outside the door that I use as a night-light, and it is too bright for me to sleep comfortably by. But I leave the door unlatched so the cats can come and go.

fooyun - sounds like you have a self-correcting problem to me... then again, perhaps locking the door is a more straightforward solution.

I feel strange with the bedroom door opened. I don't know why...I've slept with the door closed since I was little...I guess I'm just used to it. :)

My roommate sometimes shuts my bedroom door, although for my protection or his is a debatable point.

The cat would be traumatized if we closed our cabin door!
