Those of you with bathrooms attached to your bedroom, do you normally keep the door open or closed while you sleep and what's your reasoning? - Divisions by zero

To me it shouldn’t matter, but it feels weird having the bathroom door open all the time. Also my shower sometimes does a midnight clunk for no obvious reason and it’s loud. I never really thought about it until now, since I’ve never lived in a “master bedroom” with attached bathroom until now. Still on the fence, leaning towards keeping it open for convenience and airflow/dehumidification more than anything. Obviously I shut it after things get smelly.

Open, because there’s a window in there and it’s the only way to generate a through breeze if I have it open and the one in the bedroom. If I were to keep the bedroom door open the dog paces back and forth all night.
Human monkey brains like enclosed spaces for security especially when we are the most vulnerable. Closed doors gives you the impression of safety.
And on top of that I have a window in the bathroom that’s not have any balckout curtains on it. So it needs to be closed, else I would wake with the sun. And that’s not a desired outcome.
I never close the door because it doesn’t matter to me. Boring answer yep.
Closed because it’s the poop room.
I want to upvote twice. Only correct answer!
You’re supposed to flush the poop, don’t just leave it sitting around.
Agreed, but the tree remembers what the axe forgets.
You have a poop axe?
The poop knife kept breaking.
You REALLY gotta eat more fiber
What kind of cheese is that?
Closed, the shower drips at night when the heater makes more hot water. That’s loud.
Closed, otherwise the humidity gets into the bedroom
Closed because it is accessible from two sides and the other people enter from not the bedroom.
Open. I have a Samoyed and he likes to lay on the tile floor, also helps there is a vent on the lower half of the wall that blows over his chest when he’s on his back.

I keep it closed because I like my bedroom to be as dark as possible when I sleep.

I position night lights at key locations through out my house so one can move around at night and not have to turn on lights, which can suck when you are in the wakening process. Also it makes it easier for guests to move around the house.

So, i have a night light in each of my bathrooms, one in a corner of my kitchen etc.

I used to live in a flat like that. When I did, I used to have it open because I needed the fan noise to sleep.
Closed mostly to prevent light coming in and waking me up early. Haven’t thought about the poopmosphere

Normally closed. Simply because I like doors closed in general.

A second reason is sometimes that I like to have it really dark in the night, but sometimes light comes in through the bathroom window.

My master bathroom (attached only to my bedroom) door generally stays open partly because the toilet has its own micro-room with its own door that can stay shut, partly because the dog likes lying on the cool tile, and partly because the HVAC system is more efficient that way.

I also have a bathroom between two rooms. My office and kids’ room share one. The office door stays shut all the time. The kids’ room generally stays open for a little additional light, to reduce accidents because they were sleepily fumbling with the door and because kids are inherently kinda lazy about things like closing doors.

Keep the toilet is out of line of sight when you’re in bed, that’s just bad vibes.

For airflow, open during the day and closed at night. It should have an exhaust van, try to make sure smelly air is getting sent anywhere but your bedroom.

Open. In fact I could remove the door. My bathroom doesn’t stink and if anything is making noise in there then it needs maintenance anyway.

That being said, the doorknob has become a home for trash and recycling bags for the bedroom, so I guess that’s handy.

Closed. It’s a double-master apartment, and activity from the other bathroom gets echoed and amplified through my bathroom.
Closed. Mostly because there’s no shades on the bathroom windows and blackout curtains on the bedroom windows (no one lives behind me), so it stays darker with the door closed.

Open. It has no windows, and I don’t want moisture to turn into mould .

By “bathroom”, I mean ensuite. It has no bath. It’s just a shower and a sink.

1/3 open. It blocks the light that way but let’s air circulate from the central air registers in there. Otherwise the bedroom gets hot.
I keep doors open so that there is free airflow. I live in a high humidity area.
At this house we keep it open- it has a nice window that i like and there’s a dog gate in the doorway. In the last house we kept it closed to keep the cats from peeing on the rug.

i live alone in a two bed and I never close any doors.

I don’t even lock my doors when I leave most of the time.

The door to the tiny WC stays closed, but the rest of the bathroom (sink/tub/shower) doesn’t even have a door.
Our washroom is connected to the main hallway, where it goes to an open kitchen and living room. There’s a door to our bedroom there, making a loop. Our cats get the zoomies and run around and around that loop, making for some good cat crazy entertainment.
heaven forbid you close off the indy 500 track

In my home, everyone puts the seat down, then flushes. The seat stays down at all times when not in use.

The bathroom off our bedroom, has the cats’ litterbox in its closet. I cange the litter 2-3x a week, and always wash the bathroom down at the same time.

So, we keep the bathroom door open unless someone is using it.

Sorry but your attached bathroom has an attached closet?
A lot of master baths in the US have the master closet attached to the bathroom not the bedroom. Less than half, but it is common enough.
I don’t like open doors directly connected to where I’m sleeping, unless I’m just taking an afternoon nap and someone else is awake in the house. We keep the bathroom door closed enough to just before the doorknob latches, so it isn’t noisy opens/closes the door when using the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Closed.

Your average closet monster is restricted by the size of the closet. Can you imagine what size closet monster could lurk in an ensuite?

oh fuck i left mine open where the fuck did it go
I prefer to keep it open to get airflow circulating through this room that sees a lot of humidity, but my wife prefers it closed (along with the closet) due to monsters so it’s usually closed unless I use it last before bed and slyly keep it cracked open. No monster attacks to report as of yet.
Open because we don’t want the pipes to freeze.
closed for less sunlight through the bathroom windows that reflect off my mirror out into the room
This, don’t mind during the day, but it can wake us up earlier if left open

When I slept in the room with the ensuite, we didn’t care when we slept. Mean don’t think either of use dropped deuces (#2) close to sleep time there, we also have 2 other toilets so that bls.

Basically my thought is, if someone can smell it less if I pooped elsewhere in the place, do it that spot. Cause I don’t like smelling poop so assume others do not care to either.

Course I have my own issues but still assume that’s a good rule to live by. Man when a date had a curtain over the bathroom doorway and not a solid (well semi solid there mostly empty in the middle) door I couldn’t relieve myself. Mean enough making out maybe I could tinkle but that’s about it.

Only closed while showering or if I dropped a good one. The rest of the time I didn’t notice. I suppose it depends on the layout of your bedroom how much it bothers you.
During the day open but for sleep I usually close it because we have lights in there that can be annoying
I close my bathroom and my bedroom door. Makes it feel more like a cocoon.
Open. The midnight sprint to the toilet needs no obstacles
Married for 30 yrs. We never shut the bathroom door. Period
I keep mine usually half opened or half closed… Really depends on who you ask though
