Looking to the CP hive mind again...and hopefully something to get some folks’ off of covid!

Our house has three bedrooms in the basement that are unventilated. There are three heating vents in the main areas, but not in the bedrooms. The basement is heated primarily by radiant in floor heat, which works pretty well, but I do keep an eye on each room temperature as the system is a bit finicky.

My main question is about air flow. Each bedroom is quite large and has large windows. I’m concerned about oxygen/C02 levels in the night when people are sleeping and the doors are closed. The doors are standard and have cracks underneath them, so obviously the rooms are not perfectly sealed.

Am I overthinking this? The house has been inspected a few times and obviously is to code. I guess it would be the same in any bedroom if you’re not running your furnace or AC at a certain time of year. Is it worth it to grab a C02 detector just to be safe?
