Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

    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.

      Likewise, if my door was closed the kitties would scratch from the outside and make a nuisance of themselves.

        Gotta train them that doing that doesn’t get them the outcome they want. I make it a policy with my cats that if they wake me up, they get yeeted to the basement.

        When they were new, that meant picking them up and carrying them to the laundry room and closing the door. It evolved to me simply carrying them to the top of the stairs and setting them on the top step, and now all I have to do is open the door when they scratch or yowl and they scatter. It took a while, but now they only bother me at night when there’s another cat in the yard and they want to get to my window to look out.

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

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

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

      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.

      • Fire hazard
      • General safety
      • AC in the house
      • My dog would hate me for the rest of his life

      I’m shocked but how many still sleep with their door closed.

        I am confused, you want it closed or open? For the first three points the closed door is better.
