Im Paranoid About Sleeping With My Window Open. Is It Safe To Do

Do you feel safe enough to leave your bedroom window open at night?

I think anyone who leaves a window wide open while they sleep is not facing reality or thinking what they read in the news can't possibly happen to them.

I keep my window only slightly open and use a window alarm. Do you live near a Radio Shack, Best Buy or Walmart? You can buy a relatively cheap window alarm and adjust the settings so that the window can be opened a certain amount. When you need to open or close the window, just shut the alarm off and then reset it when you have it like you want it.

Here is a link showing one type. It doesn't show the type I have, which is a 'stick on' type that I bought for twelve dollars. It runs on a battery, and it has double stick tape and has been on the window for over three years. If anything knocks against that window, it sets off a shrill alarm that would wake the dead. If my room gets too cold from the open window, I switch the alarm off, close and lock the window, and turn the alarm back on again. Mine has a red light that lets me know the alarm is on and a green light to tell me the battery is good.

There is tons of bugs inb my room I left my window open..?

I don't know what to ******* do. I have school tommrow and can't sleep in any otther room. **** it I missed so much school I'l just ******* tell my parents I couldn't sleep so no school! Then should I sleep in the living room tommrow? Ugh I'm pissed off they are everywhere.

Do you sleep with your bedroom window open or closed? And why?

I like to sleep with my bedroom window open as it lets in air. But the problem is that I have  a roommate and he is a bit paranoid about snakes. So he thinks that snakes might enter our room that is on the 9th floor. I tried  telling him that it is not possible but he doesn’t agree . So I have no other option but close the windows. But I like the smell of soil before raining so I open windows then starts a war that will have no end. I stay calm he explains me how snake bites kill thousands of people every year. I try explaining him that snakes don’t live in cities as we have killed their natural habitat with buildings. But he doesn’t listen, then he starts telling me that A.C is also on and that I should not open windows. But I prefer natural breeze. This happens everyday. When he leaves for his hometown he asks me still close the window because he is afraid that I might get bitten by the snake. I smile and say ok but once he is out of building I open the windows.  I love that he cares for me but this is an Obsession.Don’t you think?

Why do people take window seats on airplanes with open seating if they’re just going to close the shade? As someone who loves looking out the window when I fly, I find that really annoying.

If given a choice, I would always choose the window seat, and it has nothing to do with being able to look out of a window. I find, once I'm all settled in an airplane seat, the prospect of getting up out of that seat extremely daunting. The close quarters and the bag I have under the seat in front of me make it really difficult to get out of a seat without touching the person next to me or holding on to the seat in front of me, potentially disturbing the person sitting there, which makes me uncomfortable, plus, I just find it inconvenient. Thus, I hardly ever go to the bathroom on a flight unless it's an extreme emergency. I know I won't bother the person next to me by asking them to get up when I'm in a window seat because I never get up, but if I'm in another seat, there is a pretty solid chance that one of my seat mates with smaller bladders than I will make me get up so they can go to the bathroom. So I also don't feel comfortable sleeping or having both headphones in and closing my eyes in case my seat mate needs to get my attention because they need to get up. Sitting in a window seat means I can just relax! When I'm in a window seat I will sometimes pull the shade down, sometimes leave it up. If my seat mates are trying to sleep, or I see a glare on their (or my) tv screens, I'll close it. If they seem to be interested in looking out the window, though, I'll leave it up. If you prefer to look out the window, definitely try to score a window seat yourself to ensure you get control of the shade!

Is it safe to leave balcony door open?

No some crimials specialize in second floor apartments as they tend to leave the door to the balcony open making them quick to enter. if you are in the house alone at night. bell it (so to speak) they little sensor that can be placed on the screen door that will alarm if it is open.

What should I do if there is a giant spider in my room and I'm sleep-deprived?

I scrolled past your pic-  which means I missed the question details-  but I absolutely cannot stand spiders.Here's what I can tell you:The vacuum will get rid of the spider, sure, but it doesn't necessarily kill it.  If you have one of those bagless, wind-tunnel type machines, there is a better chance of killing the thing, but no guarantee, so don't empty the vacuum into your trash-basket-  take it right out to the Dumpster.Spiders will DIE! if you spray/splash them with ammonia.  When I lived in Germany, with lots of half-dollar and larger "barn spiders" around, I kept a spray bottle with a strong "stream" type spray full of 3 parts ammonia and 1 part water under the sink.  One good squirt generally killed the beasts.A very good fly-swatter is better than a shoe for smashing the creature.  Personally, I can't even get that close with a fly swatter, but if you're able to do it, at least you'll be further away with a bit more control over your aim.Clean your entire room-  warily- moving all furniture, getting into all corners and hidey-hole areas.  Strip the bed, remove the mattress, and make sure you vacuum up under the bedframe.  Every single inch of the room should be examined and cleaned.  Be sure to check all books- especially those which are stored upright rather than lying flat on their covers;  spiders hide between pages sometimes.  Then, for that night at least, you can sleep soundly.  Maybe.It will cost some $$, but there are bug sprays which form a barrier which spiders cannot cross without DIE!-ing.  I've had the interior of my house sprayed with it before, and I have a monthly service for the outside-  I cannot stand the idea of them being inside with me.Good luck.  If it were me, I'd move.  They creep me out that much.

I looked up the symptoms and I have weakness, my mom has had some headaches, dizziness and some other symptoms. My mom said that she got her heating system cleaned before the winter but I am still nervous about it that I sleep with a window cracked open. I have mentioned it to my mom and she said we should be fine because just got it cleaned. Am I being paranoid or is it something to get checked out?
