There are no windows in this flat. You'd get S.A.D all year round.

I like the design but I remember seeing other capsule hotels in Japan which were a fraction of the size of these - in fact I don't think you could even sit up in bed in one, they were that small.

Hang on i happen to like Richard and Judy!

Lack of natural light doesn't bother me as long as there's sufficient lighting inside.
