    All the way open.

    Molly usually starts the night off by sleeping in my room, and then likes going to join my parents. Before the morning, she's back in my room.

    Mickey comes in from time to time. I don't want one being stuck in there, or stuck outside of my room, so I leave it open.

    Like Cataholic, the only time there is a door closed in this house is when someone is using the washroom.

    bedroom doors are ALWAYS closed. my brother because the dogs are not allowed in his room. during the day my moms is closed because someone sneaks into her room and pee's on her bed, mine because I have several little creatures in my room that need to be kept safe. at night my moms 3 sleep in her room, door closed, and my 3 sleep in my room door closed, under no circumstances are any of the dogs EVER allowed free roam at night.

    I don't have a door

    I live in the basement of our house, my bedroom is a once "rec room"/"living room" and it does not have a door. When Rien is allowed to sleep with me and loose from his crate, I put up a babygate in the "doorway."

    My flight of stairs functions as a form of privacy. Plus nobody really wants to venture into my room

    Closed. One of my roommates is on a completely different schedule than me and gets home around 2-3AM and I have to wake up at 6AM every morning. I can't really sleep with the door open anyhow.

    Closed, always. I can't stand having my door open at night, I don't like the fact that somebody might be able to see me sleeping (lol...yes, I'm weird) and I don't allow any dogs in my room except for Tango so it's a way to keep them out in the mornings when my parents might be awake before me.

    Closed. I like it to be totally dark, and I also kept it closed to keep Jack butt in.

    At the moment, I'm living in a dorm so my door is (obviously) always closed (and locked) when I'm sleeping

    Open.

    The dogs don't always go to bed when I do but they do come in sometime during the night.

  11. Open....I lived alone so long that I become uncomfortable with closed doors. I like to hear everything!

    Of course....Edwina and Eddie would not like a ddor completely closed....if we have guests we always leave the door so they can come and go.

    Before I was married, I used to keep my door closed during the night...for one reason. My room's door opens in front of the stairs, and waking up in the middle of the night to see the stairs is kind of creepy for me. Okay...I do like the privacy too.

    At our apartment, it doesn't really matter, though I prefer it closed. It is just my husband and I, so sometimes we leave it closed, and sometimes open. We tend to close it when we're feeling cold, and leave it open when its warm. When we stay at my parents', the door is always closed at night.

    I find it hard to sleep with the door open. It just makes me feel insecure...even if there is no one else in the house.

    I picked other. Before I go to bed, when everyone is upstairs, it is ALWAYS open. Before I fall asleep it needs to be closed. I can't imagine sleeping with an open door, I would hate the thought of someone watching me sleep. Plus, sometimes I bring Star(not very often at all) upstairs to sleep in my room, and if she chirps during the night there will be problems lol.

    Closed.

    When I was younger I would have to have it open, but then that changed, now it has to be closed. It varies when the animals are in my room, the one in it the most is CC. He's my little baby anyway and he usually doesn't need out because I got the cat food and water in my room. Unless of course there is an "emergency" during the night .
