In the universe, sleeping is a big challenge for the astronaut. The zero-gravity environment, constant light and low noise are factors that affect their sleep quality and performance.However, astronauts have developed methods and practices to adapt to these challenges and ensure good sleep in space.One of the important factors is the zero gravity environment. In zero gravity, astronauts no longer feel gravity and their bodies are not supported by the earth’s repulsion.This can make them feel unbalanced and uncomfortable when trying to sleep. To solve this problem, the astronauts use sleeping bags specifically to keep the body in a comfortable and supportive position.Constant light in space can also affect sleep. Since there is no distinction between day and night in space, the body does not receive natural signals to regulate sleep rhythms.To solve this problem, astronauts use light curtains and adjustable lights to create a dark and supportive environment for sleep.At the Lab, Flynn-Evans and colleagues have developed a number of tools to help astronauts overcome sleep challenges.Some of the strategies are about managing blue light exposure time and blue light reduction timing to help them sleep.They also research and develop methods of change safe sleep for astronauts such as determining when to take a nap or stay up later to accommodate changes in the schedule.Noise is also a factor affecting sleep in space. The space station’s machinery and systems make a constant sound, which is a nuisance to sleep.To minimize the effects of noise, astronauts use noise-cancelling headphones to isolate and reduce ambient sounds.Furthermore, astronauts adhere to a specific sleep schedule to maintain circadian rhythms and balance. They create a quiet and conducive environment for sleep, and at the same time adhere to sleep and wake-up time regulations.>>>Watch more videos: Unexpectedly, the cause of astronauts aging when returning to Earth.
