No there's two doors so all the air stays in the cabin he opens the first door then shuts it then opens the second door then shuts that one I think the doors are opened and shut by remote control by someone in the cabin

How do astronauts enter the cockpit of the shuttle in upright position on pad?
Because the Space Shuttle is facing upright on the launch pad, entering can be a challenging task--especially in the bulky Ascent and Entry space suits. Because of this, a group of technicians referred to as the closeout crew helps the astronauts board the shuttle. Astronauts and members of the closeout crew ride an elevator to the 195 ft level of the launchpad where they can access the hatch through a retractable arm that contains the White Room, which is a small environmentally-controlled chamber set adjacent to the hatch. Due to the white room's small size, only two astronauts can enter at a time. Inside the white room, technicians open the hatch and set removable boards over important space shuttle instrument panels (to prevent damage to vital switches and controls while the crew is climbing on board). The closeout crew then helps the crew put on their parachute packs, climb aboard, and strap in. Once all members of the crew are strapped in, the closeout crew ensures that everything is in order, removes the temporary boards from the instrument panels, and seals the hatch. A few minutes before liftoff, the arm containing the white room is retracted away from the space shuttle.

Where do astronauts sleep in a spacecraft?
In the Mercury and Gemini spacecraft, the astronauts had no place to float to, so they slept in the seats. In the Apollo Command Module, the astronauts could sleep in either, the part looking at the instrument panel, and a small area behind the seats, where they were able to stretch there legs. In the Apollo Lunar Module, while it was landed on the Moon, one astronaut would sleep on the floor in front of the hatch, and the other would sleep curled up on the engine bell cover, below the docking hatch. Aboard space stations, the crew had individual bedrooms, the size of a telephone booth, which has a sleeping bag fastened to wall.
