Hey so - closed doors are important. They stop smoke and fire from filling the bedroom giving you time to either escape or prepare to die. Sleep with your door closed and with smoke / CO (I know this is an article abt CO2) detectors. Source: am firefighter, sleeps in bedroom.

You're making me choose between dying from CO2 asphyxiation and smoke inhalation... I'm not sure why it's such a problem to have a possible 15% cognitive decline while I'm sleeping. I'm already an idiot in my dreams.

Say what you want, I would prefer to get woken up by smoke earlier to have time to attend to my family. My doctor is constantly asking me to do a surgery on my temporomandibular joint to prevent my teeth going out of whack constantly and my face to look better. And I am constantly telling him I would prefer to keep fixing my teeth every so often than go through an extremely invasive operation and risk possible problems.

  Your smoke detectors are what should alert you of fire, not smoke getting so thick and dense that it chokes you awake... at that point you have seconds to react and live.

    Yeah. I have no clue what that prior reply was about. Detectors save lives. That’s the long and short of it. One in every bedroom, hallway/basement/attic, and kitchen/living spaces doesn’t hurt.

  Good decision. Source: retired anesthesiologist (38 years). I was co-chief of the Oral Surgery Anesthesia Division at the UCLA School of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology 1980-83. I attended MANY (≥100) complex mandibular/maxillary/TMJ procedures intended to improve function and appearance. Often the intended procedure — which always started at 7:30 am — had to be cut short because of time constraints. For example: where a bone graft had been planned — using bone from the patient's hip obtained while under anesthesia — to unite intentionally fractured/repositioned bone segments, lack of time resulted in a titanium plate + screws being used instead, a less than ideal solution. Iron Rule: Patient MUST be out of OR/in recovery room by 3 pm or dental surgeon's allotted operating time will be curtailed. NO EXCEPTIONS.
