I love the fresh air! But sometimes the chirping birds wake me up and that's never fun.
Do you ever sleep with the window open?

We haven't yet. We live in the city so it's really loud if we leave the windows open

We did last night! It was great until I heard the garbage truck at 545am

We do all spring and fall. We've gotten used to the city noise, but I wonder how LO will handle it.

No. Never ever since I read a stat in college about having higher chances of break-in rapes if you:
1) sleep w windows open
2) keep blinds open while you do stuff at night, so people outside can see who lives there and what they look like.

No. We don't have screens on our windows, and they aren't the type of windows we can put screens onto, and I don't even want to think about how many stink bugs and flies would fly in if we left them open. I totally would if I could, though. Sometimes I have the door open (it does have a screen) in the evening, though, and during the day if it's nice out.

@MsLipGloss: LOOOL.
Whenever possible. However, we live off a green space and most of the people in our neighborhood have dogs and seem to all love to let the dogs bark at like 11pm. When I need to sleep. So it rarely happens even though I LOVE IT.

We do. It gets a little bit loud but I also sleep with the fan on. I love the fresh air.
@Anagram: those are very frightening statistics! We aren't always that great about closing the blinds, either-- though we are on the 3rd floor so someone would need a big ladder to get to our windows.

I would love the fresh air, but for safety's sake, no. Never.

I can't sleep with the windows closed! Even in the winter I have it cracked a little.

There's a limited window for this---getting both cool temps and no pollen is tough!

When I was younger I always had to sleep with the window open! Partly because I was afraid I would suffocate without fresh air and partly because my parents never turned up the a/c enough which was probably the same thing!

No cause I hate to hear outside noises when I sleep.

Every night! We never close the windows, even when we leave the house during the day.

We did before Ds, now we never do because he is such a light sleeper. Ac is our BFF.

No because we sleep with the alarm on and the bedroom is on the first floor.

All the time! We live on the third floor so I'm not too worried about someone breaking in through the windows.

I have to in the summer, we have no air conditioning. I usually wake up and shut it in the morning because it's right at the head of our bed.

I always have a window in the house cracked. Sometimes I worry but I'm such a light sleeper. I think I need to get some metal poles to stick in the tracks so they can't be opened. I love fresh air and running the furnace wrecks havoc on my sinuses.
