Double check every doors before sleeping

Hi mhethess, Sorry to hear that you had problems and no that is not a bad habbit. Its very sad to read you have to live that way and that you can,t feel safe in your own home. All of my family and i lock every door in the house and theres a german sherberd out the back garden hes mine i got him to look after my mom when i work. But no one has broke in yet it always worrys me that they will I hope you find peace in your life and you will no longer have to live in fear all the best.

hi,my dear friend,I have heared of a lot of such things that someone broke in the house at midnight for theft. So I can fully understand your feeling. For me,I don't think it is a bad habit. I think it is necessary to check the doors before sleeping for the sake of security. Have a nice day!

I don't think it's a bad habit, I actually do the same. I am not comfortable going to bed without me checking the door. And I think it is important for us to double check our doors or windows when going to sleep or going out because will never know what's going to happen and it's better to be safe than sorry.

i dont think it's a wrong habit. that is just normal and the right thing to do, to always double check doors and windows before going to sleep. we have had our house broken too when i was still a child, and none of us was harmed, that happened twice, in my mother's house, the thief was only able to get a wall clock... and then when i was staying in my father's house after a year, the same thing happened. the thief took some money, which was put on top of the refrigerator. i dont double check our door here, as we live in a small subdivision, and we have and we have two dogs, a small one and a very big one. i feel safe here in our new house.

I don't think that this is a bad habit but is a good precautionary measure that you are taking in order to make sure that your house is locked and safe from any robbers. I also check the windows and doors before I leave the house or if I'm sleeping at night. My family has left me with that task to do at night since I am the last person to go to sleep at night. In order for my mind to be at ease and to sleep at night I double-check even if everything is already been locked and closed. Like the saying goes, better safe than sorry.

No actually it's not.. you're just being careful.. I'm also like you... I never sleep early because I want to make sure I will not hear anything unfamiliar in the neighborhood.. It's funny.. even just a screech downstairs, I would rush outside and check.. I don't know why people did this kinds of acts... It's so sad...

we always lock our doors and even have extra door jams for extra protection. we have locks on the downstairs windows and poles in the sliding glass doors and an alarm system and a dog and pepper spray for protection. i believe in not making it easy for someone to get in here. i think you are wise to take precautions. you have to protect yourself and your home from intruders. we have had several break ins in our neighborhood in the past year and this is a very safe neighborhood by all accounts. you just never know who is lurking and who is desperate enough to do it. i also bring my purse up to the bedroom at night in case someone does get in so they cannot grab it if we are sleeping. i keep my cell phone by my bed and make sure it is always charged too in case someone gets in and i have to run into a room where there is no phone so i can call for help.

often forget to check the door if it was closed already at night. most of the time i will be awaken at 2 am and i will check the door and realized i didn't lock the doors. many times i forgot but thankfully no one attempted to go inside our home.

It is not a wrong habit, it is like securing your house, this is normal. My father used to tell me that don't put your clothes near a window as a person can take it out from the window using a bamboo. I never listened him. Once, I went to a town on office tour and I had to spend a night in a cheap hotel. There was no door on windows and there was a hook on which I put my Jeans. I was so tired that I didn't take my purse out and the next morning, I saw that the purse was gone. From that day, I also check if the window is not open in night before sleeping. Who knows same thing can happen again!

well being concern is not a bad habit at all..what happened to you long time ago was a indication from GOD to bother about such things..checking doors before sleeping is a nice habit as you can't take action while you are in sleep,so the bad elements may enter and could harm you... but if you deeply involved in checking door again and again..then it must be a bad habit..what you have to do is just check door twice..sleep and just forget about it..because there is no problem for professional to enter the home even you lock the door very well..so you can't do anything then also..so just sleep and think positive.. keep myloting

ah ,personally ,I do believe this is a good habit ,of course ,not a wrong habit ,just like you referred.Double check every doors in order to avoid the thief sneaking into ,especially for the girls .This is a special performance for the self-protection.You do quite well.

I think you need to relax. It's not healthy to be so afraid all the time.

I'm used to double checking all the doors in our house before we all went to sleep. We are all girls, only my 8 year old son is the boy in the house right now, since my husband works abroad. Way back also when I was a kid, we were robbed inside our house, in weeee hours. My fave shoes was even taken! Good thing the robber/s didn't harm us.

No! This is not a bad habit. I think if that is what makes you feel better and can sleep at night continue with it. You do what makes you feel like is the safes thing for you and your family. Happy MyLotting!

No its not bad habit.In fact i also do same before getting into the bed.I check about my home security.Its very important now a days.Everyday in news paper i saw many news like this.

yes i do check all the doors if its totally locked already with my helper. i see to it that its really locked because were are only 4 here inside the house, and all of them are young ones, even my helper is only 16 years old. LOL good thing that i have a dog who will really bark at night if there is somebody outside.

hiiii dear friend..nice to meet to here...Checking doors before sleeping is good habit...By checking doors before sleeping we can protect our hous from theifs..I had that habit..every day before sleeping i will check all the doors of my house whether they are locked by me or nor..If they are not i will close them and then i will sleep..I have fear that if they are not locked theifs wil enter into my house..happy mylotting dear friend..have a nice day...cheers..happy earnings..

yes i always double check our door if its lock before i go to bed. i think its very important that you double check the door before you hop in the bed. its more secure and you comfortable that you know the door is lock. happy mylotting!!!

I also do the same thing. For safety measures, I really have to double check if the door was really lack. Sorry to hear your story but I am happy that you are fine. I guess it should always be a routine to check the doors twice or even thrice.

I don't think it is a bad habbit to make sure the doors are securely locked before going to sleep as there are just too many thieves out there every night looking for easy to do targets. However, I want to alert you that do not get yourself too nervous and under pressure on this or one day it will develop into mental illness. Yes, the doors need to be secured but then trust the people in your house that they will also do their job. They should also check the door when they sleep.
