    Huh interesting. Searched out of curiosity, and I found 1 article saying you should close it as it will lower the temp throughout the night to allow for a more peaceful sleep and also for fire safety. Then right below was a link to another article stating you should leave it open as it will lower the temp via circulation. Fun, don’t think I’ve seen such mixed results.

      I have a bunch of servers in my room that turn it into a jungle if I leave my door closed overnight, but even without that I feel like just a person’s own body heat would cause the temp to go up with the door closed. No?

        Depends on the ventilation setup, size of the room, and how well insulated the room/house is. My old house, the room would definitely get hot if we closed the door at night. But in my current house, it gets a lot colder if we do. It’s just one of those things where all those variables above will likely be very different place to place, so there will never be a universal consensus that fits for everyone.

      Whatever the positives are. This are my reasons to keep it closed.

      1. Noise. It gets quite loud when my door isn’t closed.

      2. Temperature. I don’t wanna heat the whole hallway.

      3. Security. I don’t feel safe when the door is open.

      4. Mosquitoes. I don’t like having those in my room.
