Bats generally avoid people outdoors.

Your risk grows significantly if you enter their caves etc. Even bat guano is a good source of dangerous pathogens.

If you sleep with your window open, I recommend installation of a screen. Not just against bats, against insects, too. My wife got stung by a hornet when she stepped on it with a bare foot (it was right next to our bed on the floor) and it was a very painful experience. Our next residence is definitely going to include screens.
