Closed, to keep the monsters out.
Closed and LOCKED. What if the monsters can open doors?
Closed, locked, and BLOCKED. What if monsters can pick locks?
Closed, locked, blocked and ARMED. what if the monsters have telekinesis to lift the blockade?
Implying the monster doesnt have a portal under your bed already
Closed, to keep the monsters in…
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!
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?
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.

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.
(I love him)
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 🙃

Using thermal imaging cameras, researchers found that closed-door rooms on both floors during the fire’s spread had average temperatures of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit versus 1000+ degrees in the open-door rooms. “You could see a markable difference that a person could be alive in a room with a closed door much longer,” 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. 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.
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. 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.
Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow.
open so cats can walk freely
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.
CLOSE YOUR DOORS. Closed doors give you a much better chance of survival if your house catches on fire.
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.
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
Closed unless it's too hot in my room. Feels uncomfortable leaving my door open. It'll let me hear killers coming
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.
Open, because my cat sleeps on my bed/floor
Always closed. Gives me a fighting chance against the nocturnal intruders ya know?
Open so my cats don’t kill me.
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.
Closed because I am a mammal and I indulge in the nesting instinct.
If my door is closed my kitty cat will constantly remind me of that
Not fully closed, so the cat it's less annoying through all the night.
closed door because roomates, but open balcony door for maximum fresh air and feels of nature.
Closed, safer when fire
