if i dont, the other lights and noises in the house keep me awake. aint havin that
I have a CO² sensor. When I sleep with the door shut, the CO² climbs up to and levels out at >1800 ppm.
I have a noticable headache the following day when I do this. I’ve tested it for nine days and now I’ve got a doorstop which prevents me from closing the door completely by accident or with drafts
Brew vats of algae in your room. Creates a ton of oxygen and is really easy to care for.
There was a video from a guy that tested that. It didn’t go as well as he hoped.
That’s the most engineer ass answer I’ve ever seen.
High Co2? Algae can solve that. How much… Well a vat should do, better make it two just in case.
“Why yes, I do keep vats of algae in my bedroom why do you ask?”
What kind of algae? I want to grow a vat of it. Assuming it’s a fresh water algae.
Get a Snake plant. They create a lot of Oxygen and easy to take care of.
Open the window.
Get better airflow in your room through ventilation.
Wear an o2 mask
Look for the largest air bubbles:

I’d love to let my cat sleep in my room. He just won’t be reasonable about it and let me sleep. So the door stays shut.
We keep our doors open because we have young kids. My cat knows this and abuses it. And by the time my kids are old enough to start shutting their doors, Bruce Willis probably will be at the end of his rope, and I’ll wish he was still around to abuse it.
The problem ya see. Is the cat doesn’t sleep in the room…
I’m not convinced. So I asked my own independent panel of experts, and they all agreed. The panel:
Two of my experts, pictured here, also agree.
So far I’ve only seen experts making the same claim and no counter arguments, so therefore I will mark this as true until proven otherwise.
This has to become a meme template
Hahaha you really know my cats, don’t you! They are trash cans. They eat everything. They come home with neighbor’s trash. When I bake a bread and leave it to cool down, I find it half eaten while I smell their diarea. They always act like I never feed them. Spoiled brats. And they were born in captivity, with parent born in captivity. So it’s not like they learned to survive on the streets. They have zero survival instinct.
Also, the text with the dark 3-color is on point. She’s the biggest attention whore, drama queen and diva. She eats the fastest and then tries to steal the food from her sisters. She managed to break in into the room with full bags of food by grabbing the door handle and then she managed to dig open the really thick food bags. She then started to growl to keep her sisters away from her loot, because 8kg of kibbles is not enough to share, everyone knows that.
Also, I like you name :)
On the internet nobody knows you’re a feline.
When it’s time to go to sleep I call my cat and he comes willingly.
I’m just too triggered by having to have my bedroom door open all the time when I lived at home.
Who are the experts? Arsonists? Doors safe lives.
Closed doors, specifically
Somehow you’re the only one mentioning this and yes I’ve only ever heard sleep with door closed to buy time in a fire.
Well la-dee-frickin-da with your reasons to continue living
One time I accidentally left my bedroom door opened and gone to work, come back with a slightly trashed bedroom and poop stain on my bedsheet because they found an uncharted land that day. So no, not me, i don’t have the mental energy to deal with those thing again. Plus my allergy will probably kill me.
Holy hell, take care of your cats man.
Should we take care of him, or “take care of him”?
Nothing serious, just that one of my cat love to scoot their butt onto fabric surface, been to vets and doc said there’s nothing wrong with him, so i just have to deal with it. 🤷
I would let my dog in bed with me but he twitches ad barks in his sleep
These advertising companies have gone too far
is this about airflow? that really is valid, people don’t get enough fresh air inside imo.
about the cats, yeah, they definitely deserve a spot next to you.
edit: i checked and yes it’s about co2 buildup. keep the air moving, open that door.
I would like to but damn those birds are loud starting from 4am
Experts: open their cage door too and this problem will resolve itself
Just use Teflon cookware.
Omg, the mocking birds here are insane. I wake up early naturally, but those motherfuckers are SO LOUD they wake me up even earlier.
It’s a fire prevention thing to keep doors closed, if a fire breaks out when you’re asleep it really can make the difference in you surviving it. But, the cats aren’t going to let me do that, so we all go down together.
Fire likes oxygen. As it turns out, so do lungs.
That’s what the smoke detectors are for. They are mandatory where I live.
Is there data to support this? I imagine if a fire breaks out in an apartment and I don’t wake up in time, I’m fucked anyway. Hopefully smoke detectors in all rooms will do their job.
Yes
I mean, instead of asking for information you want, you could just go look for it. Maybe clicking this link and even reading a touch won’t be too difficult? Not trying to be an ass, but it took seconds. https://www.bhg.com/sleep-with-bedroom-door-shut-11888160
Bro literally asks for “data to support this”
So I guess they wanted someone to say
yeah theres data to support this, trustmebro™
And thats it
Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data
I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing
You want data, search the web
You want anectdotes, talk on a forum
Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)
But hey here comes the airplane I guess
It blows my mind that people will take safety advice from a random comment, question it, and expect another random comment to clarify for them, especially in a platform as small as Lemmy. It’s so alien a thought process to me that I can’t understand it, but it makes it easier to see how misinformation spreads so easily.
“Hey, you seem to know something about this, is there anything specific I can look for to learn more instead of starting from zero?”
I searched “fire safety bedroom door shut” so I don’t think they really needed any help.
They also had thoughts about it that they wanted feedback on.
Why are you on an online forum if communicating with other people is such a burden for you? lol
I hate when people say Google it bro we’re here to interact with each other and pass knowledge
I hate when people ask others to look it up for them.
Are you asking for anecdotes or information? Because it would’ve taken less time for you to search than for me to search, write a comment, and post a link. Why are you on the internet if you want other people to read for you? Good on you to attack me for your laziness.
Bro, no one was attacking here until you rolled up and attacked. You weren’t even the person they responded to. You could’ve said and done nothing and no one would have ever known or cared. Instead, you decided to cause a scene.
Quite the scene too, expecting someone to read a little in this day and age instead of skim comments online and take it as fact.
They weren’t asking you to search, they were asking if
youthe person they responded to knew anything off the top ofyourtheir head.I also explained my viewpoint and expected to hear what they think, i.e. tried to have a normal conversation. But we’re on the internet, so yeah…
I just keep my window open. Unless it rains, then it’s closed.
Does it help? Normally you need to open windows on (preferably) different sides of the building, otherwise the air hardly moves. If a door closed, the movement is blocked.
Wouldn’t you still get some airflow through convection ?
Wouldn’t it be the same case if you just have the bedroom door open? Like if just the door is open with no windows open.
You could just sleep with the window open, rather than having the cat jump on your belly at 3am waking you up and scaring the hell out of you.
I don’t live in a climate that supports that. My cat can come and go as she pleases. My other cat won’t come in at night because it’s not his territory.
Yeah, getting a good air quality monitor has made me understand the value of open windows. The co2 levels are so much higher with the windows closed
My window faces a busy road. Air quality is definitely way better with the window closed.
If you have a purifier, otherwhise it’s the same no?
why not both? both is good.
If you give a pet a good home, I won’t judge you. Me personally, however; I would sooner sleep outside than keep my fuzzy kitty from curling up in the crook of my arm, placing her paws in my hand, and resting her little head on me so she purrs like crazy before we both drift off to sleep…
I sneezed by just thinking of that :(
My cat FINALLY figured out that I don’t want her on my chest to sleep. She jumps up in the middle of the night and nestles into my arm and purrs herself to sleep. It’s so cute. And I’m allergic to her. It’s worth it.
It doesn’t matter which side of the door she’s on, she wants it open.
we all want what we can’t have
My cat is exactly like that, such a precious little cuddler…
Except that she wants to lick my face constantly. And that is not conducive to getting any kind of sleep. So she gets shut in a different room at night.
My wife used to wake up tired some mornings and not know why, until I pointed out that the difference was whether her cat was nibbling on her shirt all night.
cat is just trying to prevent all the spiders from climbing into your mouth and you lock her out.
Those spiders are excellent nutrition!
How am I supposed to get proper gains without my little nighttime protein snacks?
My cat has a grooming routine that he starts when I go to bed. So my body’s signal for sleeping is when everything goes quiet except the subtle sounds of *lick lick lick*.
Even reading this made my blood pressure go up.
People living in single room apartments: Fuck me, right?!
Well you’re sleeping in the kitchen so you’re already fucked
Actually, my kitchen is separate with a door and everything. I’d count it as a “real” room if it was large enough for a table.
I have a bitchen. It’s a bathroom kitchen toilet combo.
The bed comes down from the roof on a pulley system so, yep, I’m quite posh.
And now the cats present, 3am zoomies ahead of a big day

I sleep with the door open because I live by myself with my cats and my dog
