In the summer here (Montreal) you have to have a window open or you'd suffocate! In the winter it can get to minus 20 so no definitely not in the winter.

My neighbor isint a nice person, so it stays closed.

Although I leave it open on sunday mornings as he is away somewhere.

I sleep with the window open a lot of the time. I hate when the room feels all stuffy and horrible, I can't get to sleep because it feels like I can't breathe

UnknownSpecies

I'm like you OP, always MUST have the window open, I just get too warm, even if it's raining or in the winter, it's weird!

I agree - all through the winter I had the top part half open (you know the way double glazed windows lock but can still let a draft in).

During the summer I have both half open 24/7 and open them fully as often as possible. I hate central heating too, very bad the sinus and respiratory system.

Used to sleep with it open every night and no curtains.

Now that I sleep with my girlfriend. We "sleep" with the windows closed, doors locked, heavy curtains (her with an eye-mask too!) and me there sprawled across the covers sweating like a priest in a playground.

Weird thing is I'm always cold during the day, and her warm. Its like her entire metabolism goes on holidays when the clock strikes 12!

Depends! sometimes yes and sometimes no.

I'd like to sleep with the window open, but when I do, the light comes on and then my battery goes flat:(

I live in a bungalow and don't have a window but have patio doors and it's not really wise to leave that open! Having said that, I have done on occasions as I can't stand a stuffy room.
I never ever put the radiator on in my room either-I love a cold bedroom but a warm bed

Danbo!

Window open, i sleep a lot better with fresh air. When I've a few pints in I snore like a bear, unless the window is open. When the OH is over though, window closed, blinds and curtains closed, and any little led light in the room must be off or covered, she so crazy.

You sleep in a fridge?

I would love to sleep with the windows open but it's far too loud where I live for that. Wish I could live in the city at day and in the country at night.

I have a balcony door and no window in my room so I normally have it closed but on really hot nights I will leave it open. I leave the door open when I at home most days just to air the place out but its actually quite a cool room.

alwaysadub

Closed. I hate having the windows open at all in case something flys/crawls in.
I couldn't sleep in a room knowing the window was open.

Window open, sleep on top of quilt, often have a fan on. Beauty of sleeping with a human radiator :rolleyes:

bronte

Don't like leaving it open...spiders will get me.

There's usually a row about it.

Damn spiders.

Pretty_Pistol

Closed! I live in a bungalow and often hear things moving about outside my window. I think I tried it once last Summer but I just couldn't sleep comfortably.

Hahaha I was a bit puzzled by that comment as well!

Diabhal Beag

Never. Always closed.

I'm halfway up a mountain and my bedroom is at ground level. If I left a window open in winter, I'd freeze to death. If I left it open in the summer, there'd be nests of all sorts of insects populating my room by the morning.

Cannot understand how you'd leave a window open when it's -5 degrees outside. Sure, it's warm under the cover, but your face would be freeeezing.

I know something you did last summer.

well i'm glad to see that the thought of a battery operated fridge with a window in it has clarified matters for you

GirlOfGlass

Always closed. When I was younger I had a fear that witches would climb in if I left it open, so since then I'll never leave it open at night.

No, it just cracked me up! What did you mean, why would opening the window make the light come on?

My bedrooms like a heat trap at times so except in extreme cold weather my window is left open most of the time .

I think I get it - it gets in the way of his burglar light sensor.

I still prefer the thought of him sleeping in his fridge though.

Cheap Thrills!

MAINLY closed. Unless on the freak occasion the thermometer edges above 20 degrees.

Can't stand these open window enthusiasts.

My office is full of them.....It'll be January and they'll try to open ALL the windows and blast a lod of fans and whinge '...its BOILING in here ' when its clearly freezing.

Does your boss know people are sleeping in your office?

IvyTheTerrible

Have to have the window open in the summer, otherwise I'd suffocate! I sleep very lightly though when it's open because the noises from outside freak me out!

Wow, that's some descent just to go to bed. :pac:

Always closed. I live in an apartment over looking the Square so it would get quite noisy. Plus I was tidying last saturday and a GIGANTIC bee flew in. I stunned him with windolene but he recovered and disappeared somewhere. Wouldn't want him near me while I was sleeping.

biko

Always open, unless it's winter and the other half forces me to close it.
Hey, it's warm under the covers!

I live close to a big road so have the boy ricers, gardai, ambulance and fire trucks bolting past too. Ah, the nocturnal sounds of the city

I live ina main street i get that all night long tho i think im paying for when i had a boyracer car.... :pac:

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Alwyas open, need fresh air to survive. There's an old castle beside me and I've had bats in a few times which can make it hard to relax

bonzodog2

Closed, to keep out the noise. I even have the air vent taped up for the same reason.

no1beemerfan

Open all year round....and don't have an electric blanket and keep the rad turned off. HATE a warm bedroom.....though this causes problems with the other half!!

I moved this from AH to the Sleeping forum, hope that's ok?

Carl Sagan

I normally have it closed, otherwise I'll wake up in bits.

If I'm staying in my girlfriends house then I usually try to open a window but she doesn't like that. They keep the heating on 24/7 in their house and she's like a furnace so it's like sleeping next the sun.

NC27

I sleep with it open all year round. The only time its closed is when the wind is driving the rain in and even then it would have to bad before I close the window.

I usually keep the window open a fraction just to let some air in and keep the place fresh during the night.

i.need.a.job

too afraid to sleep wit it open in case some one comes in ha ha

Tar.Aldarion

Never, feel bad when I do.

Rubberlegs

Window open all year round, don't care if its freezin out. Wake up all groggy otherwise. Plus sleeping with a fella who farts like a trooper I need the fresh air:D

Thats dangerous isnt it? May lead to dampness / mould in the room?
Please google it for yourself.

Thanks.

charlemont

Always open, even on a freezing night..

Asphyxia

I think I have done it about twice in my whole life and that's when we had hot weather. It's way too cold now for me.

Tar.Aldarion

always seems to give me a cold, to elaborate on the above. Well a cough really, sore throat
