Yes. Or maybe you dreamt it and were a bit confused on waking up. Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

Yes

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy one of those bedside sleep sound recorders. There's just too much iffy shit you hear on those, if you listen closely and you hear stuff you can't ever forget. I tried it once. The one I had would skip to the places where there was noise.

I heard my snore stop suddenly, like my breath stopped or a hand over my mouth silenced me, and then I hear a clear whisper "Don't wake up!"

I don't know if it was me talking or what, but I'd rather not know the noises in my room at night! Never again for me.

So a while back, the smoke alarm in the kid's room directly below mine started going off for no apparent reason at 3 AM. Got up, went downstairs to silence it, checked everything in the house, smelled for smoke, looked at all the outlets, etc. Dug through drawers to find a new 9V battery and figured it was either a battery issue or a literal bug set it off. Never really got back to restful sleep after that, and the next day I kept worrying I had missed something and a shorted wire was quietly smoldering away in the wall somewhere.

Next night, around the same time, I was again jolted out of sleep by a loud beep, but by the time I had gotten downstairs, there was no alarm going off, just my ears ringing. Asked everyone else if they heard an alarm, they said no. I must've hallucinated it, but I was also experiencing the most intense tinitus I have ever had. I don't usually get tinitus at all, but my ears were ringing so loudly I couldn't get back to sleep for a half hour afterwards.

I believe I had a major psychosomatic event, which manifested tinitus. It's either that or the timing of the random tinitus that woke me up was a bizarre coincidence.

Did you lose a tooth recently?

Do you have a window open somewhere? Or have a bathroom fan on?

Sometimes the negative pressure at my house on a windy day when the window in my room is open can cause the bedroom door to close so fast it practically slams.

Yep, hypnogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations are extremely common and generally nothing to worry about. If they happen to you a lot, it might be a sign of a sleep disorder, but they aren't connected to mental health issues.

This happens to me almost every night. Usually while coming out of sleep, but sometimes while I'm still trying to fall asleep. It used to only happen when I was stressed about work, but once I had a kid it became very frequent.

I hear/see the door open, hear my son's door open, see giant spiders on the wall, hear someone rummaging through the fridge, hear my son screaming, etc. If I get up to check it's always nothing.

Possible, but also: ghosts?

Temperature differences between rooms can cause enough wind to close a door. Nothing creepy happening

Hopefully you have a carbon monoxide detector.

Do you have cat or a dog? My cat is able to open/close doors, so likely your pet has done it for you.
