natural light in mongolian vs modern yurts

[darcyoh]

Hi all!

I'm currently researching and planning to get a 15' to 18' yurt for full-time living in Missouri (and potentially Ohio or Maryland, as I'm still likely to move every year or 3). I'm pretty interested in traditional yurts (a la Groovy Yurts) because of the great felt

insulation

, mostly. But I'm leaning towards buying a modern-style yurt, simply because I think I'd suffocate without windows and lots of natural, ambient light! (And perhaps I'll source some felt/other

insulation

for the modern yurt -- I don't want to lose all my heat as soon as the fire goes out!). The first thing I notice when I step into any kind of house, the thing that makes me feel comfortable or uncomfortable, is whether the room is sunny and well-lit.

Anyone who is living in a traditional-style yurt -- what's the light situation like? Does it feel dark when you enter?
