Should I Leave My Bedroom Window Open When I Go TO Sleep?

Question

I live in a good area its just I wanted to sleep with the window open tonight. But I'm not sure if its a good idea since I'm a 15 year old girl and anyone could just come in but its on the second floor and it's just for one night...Do you think it's ok?

Answer 1

Sorry, I wouldn't recommend that. Burglars and thieves are very opportunistic and much more observant than we might think. When they're looking for a victim, they're going to take the path of least resistance. And, of course, they don't hit places in their own neighborhoods; they look for someplace where an intruder is least expected. So the fact that you're in a "good area" might make you an even likelier target. I doubt you'd leave your car unlocked with the keys in the ignition. When you think about it, it's almost the same thing. Why take the chance?

Answer 2

No I would always close my windows. Being on the second floor does not deter a burglar from getting to your window. If you want to sleep with a window a little open you can buy locks to keep the window from moving from the designated position. Even then I would choose not to.

Professional burglars are looking for open windows.

Please be very careful.

Answer 3

Do you have screens on your window? How about curtains? and which way is the window facing? The street or elsewhere?



I normally keep mine closed just because I don't like to hear all the noises outside, but if I wanted to, I could open mine up. I have screens so that bugs and other things can't get in, and plus I live in the middle of nowhere, so I'm not really worried about someone coming in.



;P



Whatever you feel comfortable with



^_^

Answer 4

Yes, come rain or shine I have it open. I think it is healthy, having said that it really depends on where you live. If it's on a busy main road, near a smelly factory etc it might not be so pleasant or good for you. Noise could be a problem (but I guess you get used to that). I am very lucky because I live on a farm and the only sounds are nature!!

Answer 5

If you leave it open 2 or 3 inches it should be fine. most windows come with a lock at about an inch open.

Answer 6

Answer 7

If the window does not have bar, then close it. anyone can come up. there are a lot of now jobless criminals on the road
