I close the door

Always closed. For fire safety, intruder, and ahhh... of course, privacy!

closed for sleeping but for sexytime I don't care

Closed for privacy and security!

Open.

open...and the curtains open..and the windows open even in january....

open, so i can hear what's going on in the house at night.

Closed

Open

I always prefer closed. So if Charles is not sleeping in bed, like when he travels, when I go to bed earlier or when he's banned to the couch, I sleep with them closed.

Bedroom door is always closed because hubster is mildly allergic to kitties and it's only fair that the bedroom be as cat hair free as possible.

Open. My wife and I live alone. We close when we have people over (obviously).

Open. I think a closed door might freak me out a little bit!

Is that claustrophobia or does the space have to be smaller for it to be claustrophia?

i absolutely cannot sleep with the door open...something about the noise, the door creates a sound barrier...i am a VERY light sleeper and will wake up even if its just kitties shuffling around the living room

the only time in my life i was able to sleep with the door open was when i lived in a one bedroom alone, i never closed any doors in that apt, except the front door

I don't think it's claustrophobia. I can sleep with the door closed at a hotel, of course. Something about closed doors at home, I think.

( we rarely even ever close the bathroom door! )

closed. don't like the cats in my bedroom!

Closed... mainly for privacy. If our boys are gone on a sleep-over then we keep our bedroom door open.

Open, so our cat can freely move about the house. She sleeps with us in a cat bed which we have on top of our bed. Often will come up and sleep on top of or beside us Of course, on the rare occasions when we have a friend over, the door is closed...

I miss having a kitty or two snuggled in the bed...

When hubster goes back home for summers, I let the one kitty who likes to sleep on the bed snuggle up with me...

i miss it too. but i am allergic to cats (but have them!) so its best to keep the kitty hair away from where i sleep.

if anyone wonders... i became allergic AFTER i've had cats for 19 years.

I know hubster would not mind at all having kitties in the room if he didn't have the allergies. So then my answer would be keep door open....LOL

Door open to allow the kitties free rein of the apartment...you know, I work just to give them a place to stay!!!

we sleep with the door open.... unless we have people over then we keep the door shut...

Close- i always lock everything even i'm in.

Both. When my parents are here it's closed and we use a nightlight(for baby), when they aren't here it's cracked open slightly for more light. Kavi still sleeps in our room in his bassinet so I need to be able to see him slightly during the night so it can't be pitch black.

Funnily enough, I can sleep with the window open but not the door.

Although when I'm with Alex we'll have the window closed because he's on the ground floor. And the door shut because I'm another person who is allergic to cats. The bedroom is my cat-free refuge.

Closed!!!

Open, unless someone is staying overnight, or if people are coming over and we don't need them to see the stuff we cleaned out of the living room.

hmmmmmmm....and the reason you lock all doors?

weeyurd.

Closed. Only cause we live in a box of an apartment and the kids are usually sacked out in the living room.

Security is not the issue.....I have the chow/rott mix under the bed and the machette beside it.

Closed. We are still (STILL!) living with my parents, and even though we have an entire floor to ourselves, I'd rather not have them hear anything -- not just for the more obvious reasons (ahem) but if we have the TV on late my mom will say things like, "You were up watching TV last night at 1am -- no wonder you're tired." Makes me feel like I'm 15 years old again.

LOL I'm glad we keep the bedroom door closed for that reason. When we are having company, it because a big holding area for stuff I don't know what to do with at the last minute.

*sigh* I am also a card carrying member of this club!

But I also keep the door closed every night when sleeping. Mostly cos if we keep the dog locked in with us, she won't bark. The flip side is that the cat knocks on the door all night to get in and out as he pleases!

for safety

Closed, to keep the ghosts out. Not that that ever stops them, what with that whole walking through walls/doors thing going on.

Nothing like a machette-wielding dog to keep you safe

When our daugher is staying with us, the door is closed and locked (mainly because kids walk right up to you really close while you are sleeping, which is startling and upsetting). However, when we are home alone, the door is typically wide open, unless it's cold.

i have toddler... i can't even take nap when she is with me.

if you don't have children its okay. isn't when you have one someday.

wow, they sound like little monsters

I keep it open so I can hear if my son wakes up in the night.

Closed, but I don't know why.
I don't mind sleeping with the door cracked open, but then when the AC comes on it slams the door shut and I HATE that.

they're lil monster

Agreed...

Like Ari(jit), we sleep generally with door open unless we have guests.

Closed.

Open when I'm living alone, close when I have room mates.

Door closed, window open, except in the summer its door closed, window closed and A/C on.
