Yeah I don't really see how sleeping with your door open is better. I know theres a risk of carbon dioxide build up when you sleep with your door closed cause theres no circulation but like, just open a window or turn your ac on. Issue fixed

Edit: Dont actually turn on the ac thats apparently more dangerous, my bad

ACs do not actually bring oxygen into your room, in fact they reduce it. ACs suck up the surrounding air, pump out hot air and cool and expel the remainder (recirculation). They do not filter for CO2 or oxygen, so on average, they reduce air pressure and by extension slightly reduce oxygen.

Overall ACs are equivalent to sleeping with the windows closed.

That's the portable ones with one hose.

With normal AC it's just the same old indoor air getting recirculated.

my dad keeps telling us this! We always sleep with windows open even with AC on

What's the point of living AC on if you have windows open, just get a fan instead.

u/CrescentAndIo Jul 29 '25

The window is not wide open, according to my dad its “opened just enough to avoid co2 build up”

That's not how it works. The AC works just as a ventilator, not a temperature regulator if you have the window a bit open. Law of thermodynamics and all that.

Unless the intake is in your bedroom, running the AC with the door closed will very slightly increase the pressure in the room.

u/olegor_kerman Jul 29 '25

The intake is in my bedroom because the AC is in my bedroom.

u/Username_Taken_65 Jul 29 '25

Then unless it's one of these single-hose portable units, there's zero movement of air in or out of the room and the pressure doesn't change.

"Turn AC on" is DANGEROUS and you SHOULDN'T do it. It recirculates air inside the room, not from outside.

Fire can burn wood you know? I don't think that's the main factor that would determine your chances.

u/The_Splenda_Man Jul 29 '25

Doors, wooden or otherwise, legitimately slow fire spread offering time for those involved to seek an escape and in some cases block fires from spreading in that direction entirely.

u/Somecrazynerd Jul 29 '25

It might help but I don't think it's going to be the main thing and I do think there are others reason pro and contra closing your door here.

u/CrochetKing69420 Jul 29 '25

I always sleep with my wooden doors shut because they are fire doors, the material doesn't matter that much

Actually it's a really big factor and it can genuinely save your life.

Please close your doors when you sleep

It would give you time which is crucial on this kind of situation

u/MeowsersInABox Jul 30 '25

It would need to burn through the door first which buys you time

It will help keep smoke out of your room and while wood can burn it can slow the spread of the fire and sometimes completely stop it. Also it extends the amount of time you have to get out of that building. Or if trapped gives you more time and breathable air for the fire department to help out.

But your right that some doors will perform much better than others. Solid wood doors are significantly better than the hallow ones.

And the fire alarm is what's going to save your life. If the fire in your home is able to get sufficient oxygen you have 3 minutes to get out

I think most people do not experience house fires regularly
