If you thought leaving your bedroom door open every night was the safer way to sleep, then think again. According to new research from the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (FSRI), in the event of a home fire, a closed door can actually be an effective barrier against deadly levels of carbon monoxide, smoke, and flames—plus it might buy you more time to escape. Translation: Leaving your bedroom door open at night to keep your eye on your twinkling lights and Christmas tree might not be a very smart move after all.
