Are you used to sleeping with the bedroom door open? Whether it's for paranoid reasons, being hot, or thinking that sleeping with the door open will make it easier for you to escape if something happens. If so, from now on you better sleep with the bedroom door closed. It's okay to be a little hot, because there are several advantages for your safety, especially in the event of a fire disaster.

Here are some reasons why sleeping with the bedroom door closed is safer for you in the event of a fire.

The fire will take quite a while to spread into your room full of knick-knacks and decorations if the door is closed

Most home furniture today is made of synthetic materials that are highly flammable. Well, to anticipate the spread of fire, you can do something as simple as closing the bedroom door while sleeping. Especially if you like room decorations or sticking posters, the fire will quickly spread into the room if your door is left open.

You can be clearer in thinking about how to save yourself in the event of a fire

Everyone will panic if trapped in a room while outside is a fire. But by closing the door when there is a fire, you will have more time to think and make important decisions before the fire penetrates into your room. With it, you will have many ideas for self-safety.

A door that closes in a fire isn't as scary as 'you'll be stuck there forever'

Because when the door is closed, the spread of fire will obviously slow down and reduce the level of toxic smoke that will make you panic even more. Meanwhile, oxygen levels which will greatly help your breathing will increase, so you will be a little calmer in dealing with what might happen. This greatly affects the safety of your soul.

Firefighters will easily evacuate if you are in a closed room

For firefighters, prevention and evacuation is the first thing that is always planned. A closed room is one of the most frequently successfully evacuated because usually the interior of the room that has not been spread by fire is the firefighter's first evacuation destination.

Closing the door at night or at bedtime is one of the simple routines that you can easily do. This is a very simple method that can help save your life.

If you are still paranoid about sleeping with the door closed or are not sure about the things above, just remember the hordes of rats that can go back and forth to your room to disturb your sleep. No less spooky.
