So I decided to Google this and mostly found that keeping your bedroom door closed increases your chance to survive a fire. So, hmm.
The popsci articles have become self-aware and they resent us for bringing them into existence. They want to see us all burn.
so that's how the robocalypse begins. ai molds the media to make it look like we did it ourselves...
I can see Mark Wahlberg starring in something like that
And it would be a good vehicle for Will Ferrell to show his range by playing a seemingly silly The Onion satire-bot who turns out to not only be self-aware but actually the leader of the genocidal machines.

Yeah that's what I always heard. Closed doors reduces the amount of smoke that would get into the room before somebody wakes (hopefully due to properly installed smoke detectors)
Besides, sleeping with air circulating inside the whole house compared to only the room feels way better for sleep quality, at least for me. I have quite a large room, but if I ever close the door for 2 hours at most, I feel the air stagnate.
well then you may have ignored or misinterpreted the comment you responded to, because he pointed out that sleeping with your bdrm door open increases your risk of dying in a nighttime house fire.
Ah, true, I misunderstood which point was being supported in the above comment. Bed time commenting kinda does that. Thanks for correction.
we're experts at claiming to be expertised. how do you know? because of how confidently i just claimed to be an expert.
I too want to become a You know what nevermind. Do you find the You know what nevermind degree useful in today's job market?
Are we sure it wasn't the bogeyman or monsters that wrote this article. What's next? We shouldn't cover our limbs with the blanket?
it's fine, as long as the toes are covered. bad things can only happen when the toes are left out of the blanket.
everybody knows that

I love how it's right at the bottom of the article, like an afterthought:
Additionally, please do remember that a key benefit of sleeping with the door closed is to help protect against house fires, so do bare this in mind if you want to give this tip a go and always prioritise your safety above all.
My wife's childhood cat was really old when she finally came to live with us in one of our rental places we lived while I was still doing grad studies. We used to close the door bc it was the one room with semi functioning AC, and during the summer we could kind of keep the room a decent temp if we kept the door closed. Anyway, the poor kitty would scratch the door and meow to be let in, and would not stop until we did (she would of course wait until we had fallen asleep first). Anyway, eventually we figured fans and an open widow were easier than being kept awake all night, so the door stayed open. That's when she started the fun new habit of 2am hairballs while sleeping between our heads...
When I lived in a communal home, I kept doors closed when I was naked (which included sleeping hours).
My wife and cat don't care about when I'm naked. Also cat wants unlimited access.
My stepdaughter has a cat that figured out doorknobs.
I put a cat flap in my bedroom door for this reason, my cat figured out the door handle, but doesn't close it behind him.
That's because he needs an answer to the eternal question of: do I want inside the room, our outside the room? He can't figure it out, so the door staying open is the most convenient
my cat will meow and bang on the door all night, just to jump on my bed, look at me, then cry for me to open the door again so he can leave

I met a dude who makes this product on Imgur https://flexlatch.com and I REALLY love it. I can’t recommend it enough to cat owners.
Lol when my kids were little we had cats, and I wanted to make sure they had options to get in and out of some rooms to get a break from the kids. I made something similar with 2 small eye hooks and a 4" double ended brass snap.
Kinda defeats the object of closing your bedroom door to prevent fire/smoke spreading but I can definitely see how useful it’d be if you had dogs and cats. Or flatmates. Or family members you don’t particularly want to be naked in front of after your cat walks in and inevitably leaves the door wide open. Can you easily remove it from the outside of the room, or do you need to be inside the room to attach and remove it?

If I don’t leave the door open for the cat she destroys the carpet trying to get in. So while it’s a risk, it’s a somewhat calculated one.
