NASA Astronauts (not Mission Specialists) are military officers on temporary assigned duty to NASA - as such, they're technically on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Realistically, their schedules are very controlled and extremely busy; most of their time is spent in training for their specific assigned mission (which are determined and usually begin several years in advance), safety and emergency procedures, etc. When they're not training, they're typically doing PR work for NASA, or traveling to the different NASA Centers where work on the systems their mission will be dealing with is being built and tested.
