    That’s funny because according to other experts you should sleep with your door closed in case a fire breaks out: Keeping the door closed can help keep (or at least delay) death from smoke inhalation.

      Combined with a working smoke detector outside the bedroom this will save your life. Twice in my career I’ve gone into a house filled with smoke and had to wake people up to inform them their house is on fire.

      Air quality i assume, i started leaving it open after getting a CO2 meter in my room. Having a larger volume of air to pull from, massively reduces the CO2 level in your room. My morning level went from 2500+ ppm down to ~700ppm. If you have plants it probably helps a lot too.

      Idk if thats what these “experts” are talking about but thats just my experience.

          You’re thinking of CO, increased CO2 in the blood (which when dissolved becomes CO3+) causes increased anxiety and too much triggers suffocation panic. That’s why you can breathe in basically any other gas and just shut down calmly, but CO2 will have you scrambling.
