Open sleep with them open to even in winter

 

Depends where we are living.
In the flat we have right now, we have to have all the windows open when it's hot, to get a flow of air, but we have nets in front of the windows to trap the flies (hopefully anyway!).
When we had air con, we kept most of the windows closed as the air con worked better that way. But we had a window open at the back of the house and a door with a curtain, to get fresh air rather than re-con air .

We sleep with the window open except when it's cold, as I don't want to be breathing in cold air (got that from my mum )..

 

The windows are open and the door to the garden ...so we have what breeze there is wafting through the house. Although i have a gate on the back door so the dogs can't go out and sunbathe ....at least not until it's cooler.

I have the windows open at night, too ...but yup ...if the lights are on the windows are closed to deter the flying bugs!

Windows open and blinds closed during the day if it is proper hot hot hot (which rarely happens here ) and then blinds/windows open during the early part of the evening/when the sun has set to let cooler air in. Windows open and blinds overnight. I only close them, as other have mentioned, when the lights are on to try and keep the beasties out.

 

Windows open at early morning/evening when it's cooler, shut during the day, with shutters in rooms we don't use.

 

I have them all open today including the back door and it's beautiful. Not much of a breeze ( I usually do get one with the front and back windows open ) but my room is fairly cool as the sun hasn't reached my room as of yet. That will be later on this afternoon/evening.

 

Open, and the downstairs on the catch at night, so some air can still get in. Upstairs are open all the time. It's definitely fresher and cooler in our bedroom when we go to bed.
If we have been away, it's horrible to get back to a stuffy hot house. So open must work better.

 

every single one is open right now just to get the ir moving, but I'm too paranoid to leave any open when I go out so it will soon warm up again

 

Open here, when I'm around to check for intruding cats!
Diz likes chasing the flies but they drive me crazy at night.... why do the seem to want to settle on your ears?!

 

Sophie chases flies when they swoop down to her level, but she has developed a new 'anxiety'.... a couple of times recently a fly has managed to get in and has stayed on our ceiling, flitting about from corner to corner now and again. And Sophie runs and hides under the table when this happens.
So we have to get rid of the fly before she will settle

 

Arthur is similar. He catches and eats them if they come close enough but if there is one buzzing about and he can't catch it he goes all silly and hides under the desk in my office.

 

Open in the morning, closed for the afternoon and open again in the evening

 

yup, thats what I do to. I do have the back door open all the time though, but it opens onto a shady yard so doesnt let any heat in.
I keep the curtains closed all the time though...nothing much to look at outside anyways!

 

Mine are only open a tiny amount because of the cats but the bedroom window is open all night. I don't mind the moths too much but the cats chasing them keep me awake

 

Sam tried to run through a doorway just as the front door was opened, allowing a breeze to blow through as the back door was already open. It slammed on his tail, and he kept running, losing 2 inches of tail in the process. So never again (and too late for short-tailed Sam).

Also Rosie - at the other end of the scale - is scared of flies. I think she thinks they're bees, but she runs away and hides under the bed.

So when it's hot like this, we just get sweaty!

 

Ive got some windows open at the moment, but they do all have fly screens on, back door is open as its shaded, Ive got shutters on the windows also, and most are down, when its get really hot, I close everything down, shutters down, most of the windows closed and doors shut, it makes a huge difference in keeping the house cooler, I then open everything up in the evening, today has reached 39'c ... but July/August will get hotter,

 

Open here, how wide depends on how windy it is as I've got vertical blinds and too much wind would damage them.

Every day my windows get opened even in winter.

Blinds get shut when its hot, blackout blinds are a godsend, opened in the evening.

 

Most of mine are all open on the catch (they are pretty much all opened on the latch when the heating goes off and stay like that till the end of September) because I have indoor kitties but I have a screen on the front door so I will open that later but currently as the sun is beating on the front of the house I think it allows more heat in if I open it during the day but it gets a nice through draft going when it's opened in the evening as I have the larder window open for the cats to access their run through it.

 

Zaros makes a mental note of which houses are most eligible to burgle.:Shifty

 

We have most of the windows open all day at this time of the year. Curtains are shut when it's hot.

 

Closed as soon as its hotting up. Open windows every morning to air the house regardless of the season. Keep back door open for dogs etc but windows shut, makes no noticeable difference either way.

Carmen would probably jump out if I left any open anyway..!

 

Open at present & the back door. I do shut the back door if I leave the sun lounge though, else the neighbours cat wanders in.

 

Downstairs windows closed and back door open. Upstairs windows all open, I sleep with my bedroom window open although I really hate the moths and daddy long legs that come in :Arghh.

 

Shut during the day on the side the sun is, open all through the night .

 

Bedroom windows are open all the time as is bathroom ( room cats don't get in) downstairs back door open in the morning before I go to work and evening when I get home from work we have an enclosed back yard for cats and dogs...

 

All windows on the catch at night, back windows open during the day and curtains draw in the back where the sun is in the heat of the day, Back door open from when we get up until w go to bed.

 

I had my window open before but only hot air was coming in so I have just put my fan on.
