Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.
This right here. As a firefighter Iβve seen it. Also nowadays if the door is open I canβt sleepβ¦I just keep opening my eyes and seeing that open doorβ¦

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.

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.

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.

open so cats can walk freely
Indeed. It is not us that sleep with the door open. It's the cats' choice.

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.
