How do astronauts sleep?
astronauts sleep in sleeping bags tied up to the ceiling and the floor so they wont move around so muchAstronauts sleep in sleeping bags. The bags are fixed to the wall inside a spacecraft. They keep astronauts warm and stop them floating about while they sleep! A special shower lets the astronauts wash without drops of water floating everywhere.
Why should the astronauts use a spacesuits and helmet while walking in the space?
Astronauts wear spacesuits due to the absence of pressure in space. They need to maintain the pressure level on Earth by isolating themselves from actual space. For the helmets: there is no oxygen in space. Humans require oxygen to live, inhaling it through their nose and mouth. Therefore if they do not wear helmets, they will die instantly from loss of oxygen.
Do astronauts need to have a passport while in space?
No , but for astronauts visiting from other nations they do need passports to travel to the respective countries who are launching them into space e.g. the U.S. , Russia .
What is space adaptation syndrome?
It is a type of motion sickness experienced while astronauts adapt to a weightlessness environment.
What is the place where astronauts live and work in space?
The International Space Station normally has a crew of three or four, and while they rotate, most astronauts do not get to live on the space station. As of Feb. 2010 the number is now up to 6.
Why do astronauts require less sleep while in space?
Astronauts may experience disrupted sleep patterns in space due to factors like increased exposure to light, noise, and changes in gravity affecting their circadian rhythms. Some astronauts report needing less sleep because they are more physically active, have higher levels of stress, or simply due to the excitement and novelty of being in space. However, adequate rest is crucial for their health and performance, so astronauts are encouraged to prioritize sleep hygiene and use tools like sleep masks and earplugs to help regulate their sleep.
Do astronauts sleep in a bed if not how do they sleep and keep from floating?
Astronauts do not sleep in traditional beds; instead, they sleep in sleeping bags that are secured to the walls of their spacecraft or space station. This prevents them from floating around in microgravity while they sleep. The sleeping bags help provide a sense of security and comfort, allowing astronauts to rest while minimizing the risk of drifting into equipment or other crew members.

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.
Where is living and working quarters for astronauts in space?
Living and working quarters for astronauts in space are usually located in the pressurized modules of the spacecraft, such as the International Space Station (ISS). These modules provide the necessary environment for crew members to eat, sleep, work, and conduct experiments while in space.
How astronauts spend their time in the space ship?
