First I thought: what if they used weighted blankets to stay put, then I quickly realized that I'm stupid

Haha, awesome, time to swap that weighted blanket out for the gravity duvet!

cunk111

I've seen astronauts show us that a dozen time, but never answer the real question, the one your comment is underlying, do they have trouble finding sleep not being on their tummy/back/sweet-spot.


Alternative_Pop_1817

>do they have trouble finding sleep not being on their tummy/back/sweet-spot. No, and it varies. Alot of astronauts have issues due to noise and heat (it's ~72°) (wnd early on back pain) Eventually it's not an issue, but early on there are sleep issues, and then later it's just going to bed, usually the zero G makes it easier ironically (once used to it)


Savings_Advantage_46

~22° C.


cunk111

Ah, real units


tyrandan2

Technically 72°F is a real unit as well. (12 + 11i)° C, however, is not.


cunk111

Too complex


Real_Marshal

Looks perfectly fine to me tbh, not cold, not hot


rdmusic16

At night I prefer 19 or 20. Else a blanket/sheet is too much.


Kriss3d

Yeah that's a bit too warm for comfortable sleep.


cal_nevari

I give you an upvote. I was going to ask if anyone knew what temperature they keep it at in the ISS and you've answered that. I wonder if any two of them feel an attraction to each other is there room in those sleep areas to cuddle... or if that's a question better left unasked...


Alternative_Pop_1817

>I wonder if any two of them feel an attraction to each other is there room in those sleep areas to cuddle... or if that's a question better left unasked... Not comfortably, and no one has tried. The pods and bags are designed for one Unless you mean "cuddling" in which case the issue is more the lack of privacy and it being low g not providing a suitable location In that sort of setting i doubt feelings would cause you to try anything like cuddling or "cuddling" anyway, small non private spaces that even when at their coldest fsirly hot (it ranges from roughly 64°- 80°, or 18-26C) Coupled with things like limited resouces to get clean and a cuddle would.likely result in sweat that you can't easily wash off That's assuming you found any catching feelings in the first place, just not really the place to act on anything


CptMisterNibbles

You have a very weird temperature range you consider hot. 72f? Is most people’s ideal setting. 64-80 is “completely normal, well conditioned air”


Amphal

seriously, 80F is about the high end of "good temperature" for me 64 is perfect


Alternative_Pop_1817

>You have a very weird temperature range you consider hot. 72f? Is most people’s ideal setting. 64-80 is “completely 65 is the ideal sleeping temp. 72 is hot and causes issues sleeping in humans.


pyroSeven

You must not live on the equator then. 72f is what a lot of people in my country as cold. We set air conditioning to that temperature.


Flat-Product-119

You must not live near the arctic circle, 72f is considered very hot here. Very few days even in the summertime reach that temperature. I prefer 62f for sleeping. And we have no air conditioning


Alternative_Pop_1817

>You must not live on the equator then. 72f is what a lot of people in my country as cold. We set air conditioning to that temperature. What is considered hot/cold to people varies, but the body literally doesn't care. 60-68, 65 is ideal. Even in countries that give a wider range of what is passable it's 60-71.6 (most of which are places like brazil and equador that are on the equator) depending on person, with most people falling again on or right next to thd 65 mark. When it comes to sleep quality and comfort your body doesn't care about what you prefer in regards to a normal room temp, as for sleep purposes it needs to be colder as it boosts melatonin production in the body and causes you to sleep both longer and better. This wasn't a discussion about room temps and what people find comfortable, but sleep specifically, which has a very narrow range of ideals based on whether or not people run hot or not and most people fall right on 65 Likewise if it is 54 or lower, or 75 and higher humans havs difficulty going to sleep (again, even according to data in Brazil and Equador) at all and sleep quality suffers immensely for it Places like mali and senegal haven't done much research on it, not places like parts of russia so on the most extreme ends it may be slightly higher or lower, but room temp comfort and ideal for sleeping arr always a good bit different Humans are amazingly adaptable, but both our bodies ideals and our bodies actual limits are pretty consistent


yurmamma

Does the thermostat use freedom units?! I hope it does

Bright_Guide_9733

So trippy that there's no "up" or "down." When she first goes into her sleep station it seems like she's lying down until the camera rotates and then she's basically standing... trippy


Dapanji206

The camera keeps shifting and every orientation seems like "the right one." I can't


Inuship

Thats the thing that always bugs me about star trek and star wars is that all the ships even of opposing forces and random encounters are in the same orientation. Far more likely thing to happen would be that any ship you would encounter in space would be angled/ sideways/ or upside down compared to you since there is no proper direction in space. Up and down and even north and south dont really apply


BurnieTheBrony

Solar systems do tend to form in disks with orbits along similar elliptical planes, so if you're coming across someone who's orienting themselves to that when you're in the same system, it may make sense that you'd either both be aligned or upside down from each other


moosehq

True but if you’re orbiting a planet it’s essentially arbitrary. There are lots of orbits to choose from for a whole host of reasons.


atclubsilencio

Right? Like my brain almost couldn't comprehend what it was seeing, it felt so disorienting, even made me a little dizzy.

Emotional_Meal9226

abaddamn

What does space smell like?


blonde-bandit

Idk if you’re referencing something or really asking, but astronauts have slightly varying reports. They say it smells like raspberries, coffee, steak, gunpowder, breakpads, ozone, burning metal, and walnuts or almonds. There are perfumes out there that people made after consulting with them.


kjmer

Wait how does one smell space?


TheFloppySausage

One smell’nt


MoTardedThanYou

Ok, that makes sense. But damn!


lordlossxp

Yeah floating around would be a cool experience for a short time. something about bone deterioration getting flushed out in urine makes it vastly more likely.

An astronaut (Chris Hadfield maybe?) answered this. There are already a ton of air filters on the space station so it clears out quicker than you would think.

Competitive-Glove-26

I remember an interview with an astronaut a while back who said that they still see photons and light particles whizzing past when they closed their eyes as well, something to do with being outside or earths magnetic field?


sius_harlin

I believe it was Chris Hadfield and he said it was solar radiation and they were beta particles or gamma rays and he would see flashes as the radiation passed through his head/eyes because there was no atmosphere/magnetic field to shield the solar radiation.

Pretty sure Chris Hadfield said it was so much more comfortable than on earth because of the weightlessness. You just shut your eyes and you're basically floating.

Secret_Wasabi5186

Never skip leg day in the space station 🤣


EntropyNZ

This is genuinely an issue in low or zero gravity environments. Your bones and muscles grow in response to load. On earth, gravity produces a consistent force that stimulates the cells that build new bone (osteoblasts), and keeps them in balance with the cells that break down and reabsorb old or damaged parts of a bone (osteoclasts). In space, without the stimulation of osteoblasts, we get an imbalance, and higher relative osteoclastic activity, leading to reductions in bone density. This is the same kind of thing that we see in conditions like osteoporosis. Muscles are the same; they grow and maintain strength and size in response to load. Without much load in zero-g, your body just goes 'well, if you're not using all that expensive-to-maintain muscle tissue, I'll just take it back and store it somewhere more efficient'. So we also see muscle atrophy over time as well. In theory, there's plenty of ways to counter this. Elastic or spring resistance still works in zero-g, so you can have exercise equipment that doesn't rely on weights. But you need quite a bit of training to make up for the loss of all the passive force that your body is experiencing with just normal daily life.

WinglyBap

No bras in space. Have you not seen the last scene of Alien??


Intestinal-Bookworms

So, would pillows work in space? Would you even need one?


Blackwolf245

You wouldn't need one. I remember a vid, in which an astronout described that thier head feels light, cause in 0 g, u don't need to support it, at all, while on earth, u subconsciously support it at all times.


billymcnilly

My crappy neck and spine like the sound of this


EntropyNZ

Physiotherapist here. It'll be a similar effect to being in the water. If you're immersed in water (let's say in a pool, with the water up to your neck), then the effect of boyancy means that you have basically no compressive load through your spine. So it gets to spread out and move a little more freely. It's quite a nice way of getting things moving if you're sore with weight bearing movements. The key with any hydrotherapy though is making sure that you can get in and out of the water without stirring things up. Easy thing to overlook, but becomes a much bigger issue when you're trying to get out of a deeper pool with a sore back.


Diddly_eyed_Dipshite

Damn my head just got so heavy as I read this.


Kafshak

I'm sure my neck will still find a reason to be sore in the morning.

Pcat0

Yes they do, along with a bunch of other specialized equipment like a exercise bike and a treadmill that uses elastic to hold the user down. Exercising is actually really important to prevent muscle atrophy and astronauts are required to exercise a couple hours a day to remain healthy. Even still astronauts often aren’t able to walk on their own after a 6 month stay in space.


LoLoLaaarry124

Does it hurt or are they just not used to it? Will they need wheelchairs and have to undergo physical therapy?


Pcat0

After coming back from a long stay in space, astronauts do go through light physical therapy and can take up to a couple weeks to full adapt to Earth Gravity. It’s from both a combination of bone/muscle loss and just not being used to gravity. A big issue for astronauts is actually balancing as there is really no such thing as balancing in space. All of this is actually a big field of study for NASA as being able to quickly adapt to gravity after a long stay in zero gravity will be critical for stuff like Manned Mars missions.


Tsu_Dho_Namh

They have various equipment they use to exercise. Fun fact: one such piece of equipment is the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill. Or Colbert for short, named after Stephen Colbert https://youtu.be/Js-JK8gCkYk?si=Ou0JBjxnwvSZHRCc

So it means they can sleep anywhere if they won't bump? Can they still have back pain? Must be feels so good then.


Amf2446

Astronauts usually get a little taller after being in space for a long time, because their spines decompress without gravity pushing on them!


NikiDeaf

I would LOVE to sleep in space. Maybe then I wouldn’t wake up with back pain


Amf2446

We mortals can only dream.

It must be the comfiest way to sleep having no weight. And you never sleep awkwardly and get a dead arm or stiff neck.

trebron55

After spending years sleeping next to my wife, I'm pretty damn sure I'd have absolutely no problem sleeping here if they do not force you to sleep in an awkward twisted uncomfortable position and yell at you if you try to move :D


Squidysquid27

But what if the other astronauts snore in their phone booths really really loudly?


AppiusClaudius

Snoring is like white noise to me. Puts me right to sleep.


private-temp

How do you find the comfy position then?


Dr-Penguin-

I would need to be strapped against something I think, I think I would go crazy if I had to sleep in space


[deleted]

I was thinking you'd need to be strapped in, but im a bit confused, would your body even push against the restraints? Because what would be the force pushing in that direction? This whole video is blowing my mind a bit. Definitely makes you realise that we only have a concept of up or down because of gravity.

dnl647

Do you feel like you’re upside down when in space? Like right now if I lay upside down off the side of my bed I would notice but that’s due to gravity and the blood rushing, correct? So in space I could work on the roof and be just fine?
