Astronauts spend over half their time in space exercising. This is especially necessary to prevent muscle and bone loss. Treadmills and stationary bikes are the most popular forms of equipment.

I think they can eat anywhere as long as the food tray and food containers are strapped down. I am not sure about where they exercise but they can sleep in their seats if they want, they can also sleep in sleeping bags attached to their locker or part of the spaceship and sometimes they have bunks that are attached to the spacecraft and the blankets and sheets are stuck to the bed so they don't float away. they can sleep comfortably in the sleeping bags because they are floating around and there is no "up" in space so they wont feel any different sleeping vertically to if they were sleeping horizontaly. I hope this helps

They would get more information about space and look through the telescope and see stars and planets.

They would study about planets eg. Mercury,Venus,earth,Mars,Jupiter, Uranus,Neptune and our dwarf planet pluto.

Or they would just rest and float inside their rocket ship.

Up until the present time (Spring 2013), anything and everything that any person
ever ate during a space mission was something that was either packed with him
when he launched, or else was launched from Earth and hooked up with the space
machine that he was riding in (the International Space Station). So far, nothing
edible has ever been grown, found, picked, acquired, born, or produced in space.

Astronauts have to exercise while in space to minimize their muscle and bone density loss. They exercise while tied to treadmills, stationary bicycles, and with resistance band weights.

If they do not exercise some of their muscles would atrophy. This is because they would no longer be working to maintain the body upright against gravity.
