I may have missed but it seems nothing discussed for the amount o plants in the comments. Is having that many plants around your bed safe? Can they release enough CO2 to effect your sleep quality or is it a myth I remember from my childhood?

It's especially ironic taking into account how imgur came to be: as a simple image hosting website for reddit without ads/fluff. Now it's the polar opposite.
Still, Imgur is vastly superior to the old image hosting sites. Even though the redirects and low resolution images on mobile are annoying. They serve a lot of traffic, and the bandwidth expenses are probably quite big.

Release co2, to the air? Wouldn’t we expect them to sequester co2 and release oxygen? Or is my mental model of plants maybe to simplistic?

The amount of produced CO2 is AFAIR fairy small to introduce any problems for people sleeping in a room.

As far as i can see there’s zero insulation and basically no thermal mass to buffer the heat. They’re going to need to keep a fire going 24/7.
Oregon is a pretty warm climate. Just eye balling the terrain, they look to be at a pretty low elevation and probably won't see more than a few weeks of below freezing weather per year. Not sure this would be practical in a more punishing climate.
I'm more curious about the state of that yurt in 5, 10, 15 years. Heating, humidity, insulation, energy bill, insects, hygiene, maintaining the toilet and the hygiene issues that come with it. Building codes don't exist without good reasons. Health and comfort don't happen by snapping finger at good ideas. I would really be interesting if construction engineers seriously studied yurts. I have to say this looks pretty…
Most homes in the US are simple wood frames, with wood cladding. No one worries about the lifespan of those houses.
How does the construction industry work in the US? Do many people DIY? Do many people get hands-on with building homes while still hiring experts where needed? Is it common for city people to own farms/land nearby? It seems it isn’t really that costly to build a nice 1000 sq. ft. place complete with appliances and modern amenities. The construction industry in India is shitty - carpenters, painters, plumbers, masons,…

Humans used whatever material was plenty available for a long time. The Siam and Burmese empires used wood. When the wood started to rot they razed it and built new houses. Most homes in the US are simple wood frames, with wood cladding. No one worries about the lifespan of those houses.
Is it safe to have plants in the bedroom, don't they use up oxygen at night?
