Why do astronauts float around in the shuttle instead of falling?

They are falling ! As you see them on TV floating around in the shuttle (or outside it), they are falling towards the earth. So is the shuttle, at exactly the same acceleration, which is why they seem to hover in mid-air; they are moving exactly in time with the shuttle. In fact, shuttle and astronauts are both moving; pretty fast, too, around 18,000 mph. And that is the big secret as to why they don't crash to earth. They are falling towards the earth's surface, but the surface of the earth is curved. Because they are travelling around the earth, it's surface is receding from them, and it just happens to be moving away at the same rate as the shuttle (and contents) are falling towards it. This is called an orbit, and it doesn't really "just happen"; the engineers who program the launch vehicle take some trouble to get the final velocity just right to achieve the orbit that they want.

Space shuttle sleeping area what do's it look like?

I couldn't find a good picture of the sleeping quarters, because they are sort of a cubicle it's difficult to see into. But, click on the related link below to see and example. ~ I am Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit To Add: Actually, the photo in the first (I am Jim's) link is of a crew cabin/sleep cubicle on the ISS (space station). The space shuttle astronauts use sleeping bags that are attached to the wall of the shuttle mid-deck. Cut and paste this url: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/living/spacesleep/index.html Or click the second link below: "Sleep in Space" to see photos of each. ~ WH9
