Do you sleep with your window open or closed?

    I like to let some air in at night so keep mine open. There's nothing more unhealthy than waking to a fogged up closed window.

    Fair play to you.

    Me, I tend to keep it closed.

    Live in Dublin so an open window is an invitation to have your tv dissapear by the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    Open when i lived on my own.

    She's afraid of flies and stuff so i have to keep it closed now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie

    What about the robbers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    If it was Spain I lived in rather than Ireland I might consider leaving it open at night. Our nights just get way too cold even in summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    If its a mild night with no wind, yes. But so far this year it's been freezing, it drops to 3 or 4 degrees every night for the past couple of weeks. Usually around 1 degree as I'm so close to the coast with the wind chill.

    Nobody ever see "Salems Lot"???
    CLOSED


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,398 ✭✭✭whatdoicare


    Not in this country I don't - the air is generally too damp to be breathing in at night. Not good for lungs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Closed. I dont want the milk tray man getting in again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    I sleep outdoors


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭jakobgallagher


    Closed September-May
    Open June-August


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,253 ✭✭✭Boscoirl


    i leave it whatever way it is when i go to bed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Depends. I don't like to leave it open on very cold nights because it seems to do bad things to my throat. In the summer always open. I love a nice cool room.

    Tis the opposite, I am afraid. It is scared blouses who keep the window closed. Scared of robbers, vampires and Jesus, apparently.

    I take my chances with my open window. I am like superman. An uber mensch when it comes to open windows.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    jasus, what happened there? Anyhoo, I left the windows open the other night, and in flew enza. Coughing all week I was.

    Once you let that dirty bastard Jesus in, he'll ruin your life.

    Anytime i leave it open, there is always a trickle of blood from 2 small wounds on my neck in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert

    The inside of your lungs dry or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭patwicklow


    Has to be open for me no matter what the weather.

    I have an adjustable air vent in my room :cool:

    None of your window balderdash required


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    I experimented for a while, but now I just leave it closed. Too bloody cold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Closed. I always wake up with a blocked up nose if I sleep with the window open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭iguy


    In the winter time I would have the window vents open,
    in the summer time I would have the vents open and put the window on latch,however depending on how warm the night is I would open the window out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    What about the robbers?

    you could get your self a nice fancy panic room :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭mummymoo

    Depends on the weather. Currently? Patio doors, wide ****ing open. Lovely fresh feeling to the morning.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 723 ✭✭✭bfocusd


    Closed! cause a cat is always roaming around on the roof beside my window, don't wanna wake up with a cat in the bed with me, plus all the creepy crawlies come in then! Especially moths.. Ugh.. 3 huge ones were in my bedroom before, I suffered the cold leather sofa for two nights! Just incase!

    For stuffy night's, you can't beat a ceiling fan blowing down on your back, best feeling ever if you burn in the sun too! Or for the best comfort, fit some HVAC or passive ventilation if your willing to go to the extreme :) or just open the window.. With a mosquito net fitted around the ope!

    There's a middle setting on Velux windows that lets in enough air to keep a room ventilated, but not enough to create a breeze. Does the job for me. :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil


    Open window for me.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Windows closed or I'd get a sore throat :eek:

    After I take my sleeping tablets it wouldn't matter what the state of the window is because nothing will wake me up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭charlemont


    I always leave it open, Even in Winter, I hate been in a stuffy room, I never even use the heater in the bedroom.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    Open, open.. always open. I smoke a lot


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Inbox


    I leave it open because I'm always snuggily warm under my Hungarian goose down duvet :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭RB100


    I leave it open a small bit cause I get a sore throat if I don't because my room is always dusty even when I clean it:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭guitarzero


    I leave it open, I like the sound of the distant din and the hum of the night, makes me feel a lot less lonely:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Depends on outside weather conditions and whether the cat is inside the house for the night. If he's out I keep it closed because he climbs in and starts meowing loudly at 5am.:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,606 ✭✭✭Jumpy


    I had to close it to get Peter Pan to **** off.

    Don't say you smoke in bed! That is so dangerous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    During the summer, yes. During the spring, autumn or winter, not a hope.
