Even keeping the bedroom door open helps. I did some tests with a CO2 meter - with the door closed it reached 1100ppm after a nights sleep. With the door cracked open it was around 700ppm. One thing is that air diffuses out fairly effectively even with the door closed, presumably through gaps in the door frame. Quick calculation (welcome any corrections, numbers pulled from quick online searches): Resting breathing rate is ~6 liters/minute. Sleep ~8 hours = ~500 minutes = 3000 liters exhaled. CO2 exhaled is 5% concentration, so 150 liters of CO2 Room = 30 m^3 = 30000 liters Expected additional CO2 concentration in morning in perfectly sealed room = 150 / 30000 = 0.5% = 5000ppm Actual additional CO2 = 700ppm (1100 reading - baseline 400ppm)
