Same - sleep with the bedroom window open year round. Feel all the better for it in the morning. Nothing to do with waking up a 08:30am.

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -
I think a window slightly open all year around and frequent airing of the room is good common practice by civilised people.
Also having a bright well lit room.
Except when you are in corporate hell and everything is closed for cost saving purposes, heat to minimum. And windows? They remind people that there could be a life outside work so to hell with those.Comment

When I was in hospital last year (October), my room mate liked the window open. I didn't care - I just asked the nurse to bring me another blanket. It was very pleasant.
The nurses referred to us as the ice boys. Turned out, he'd been the anesthaetist for many of my urologists surgeries. Since he already knew most of the medical staff there, it ended up with me nearly being treated as human as well.
At home, we have the windows ajar. Locked though, so you wierdos can piss off.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
