Why You Should Always Sleep With Your Bedroom Door Closed

 



While sleeping with your bedroom door slightly open might make you feel calm, especially if you have a pet friend that likes to roam around or listen for family members, it's important to think about this habit again from a safety point of view.

It might not seem important, but closing your bedroom door while you sleep can have big effects, especially when it comes to fire safety.
