However, if there’s others in the house and not the room, one should leave the room door ajar at night (unless a man is sleeping alone in a room and the only other person in the house is a women in which case it’s forbidden to leave the door open because of Yichud.) <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:9 writes that one shouldn’t sleep alone at night alone and this includes even sleeping in a room alone. However, Shaar HaTzion 239:17 writes that one may leave the door ajar if there are others in the house. Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 669, Sherit Yosef vol 3 pg 369) also holds that it’s forbidden but writes that if there’s no other option one should leave a light on in the room. </ref> Some hold that it's enough to have the door closed and unlocked. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 239:6, BeYitzchak Yikra of Rav Nevinsal 239:6 </ref> | # It’s forbidden to sleep at night in a room by oneself.
