Answer: Astronauts close their eyes...The International Space Station is equipped with what are basically sleeping bags. They use Velcro fasteners to attach them to a convenient spot on the wall. Astronauts sleep with their arms inside the sleeping bags. Otherwise, they wake up in a "Frankenstein" position due to low gravity. See attached link with pictures from NASA.
