Apparently, the sleeping units each have a fan to keep the air moving - otherwise the crew can wake up gasping for air as an exhaled bubble of high CO2 content air can accumulate around the head!

Far out, I never thought of that! She's right about the "no up/down" due to no frame of reference. 1 minute into the sleeping chamber tour, it looks like she's standing up, but no - she's on the "floor".
My biggest fear would be bumbing something that's important. Cables here, laptop there, don't bump that button... too late
