It's much easier for me to sleep in space than it is back home. We sleep in a cabin, and you can float inside.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's easy to sleep floating around - it's very comfortable. But you have to be careful that you don't float into somebody or something!
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Different astronauts sleep in different ways.
My dream has always been to suspend myself in space when I write, and lying horizontal in bed is the closest to doing that.
Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.
Life as an astronaut in space is a very interesting one. There are things we all take for granted here on earth, like gravity, that can make things a bit challenging. One of the fun things about getting here is the zero gravity and floating around. But it also makes things very difficult.
Space excites me. My dream is to go to space.
You know I used to sit there and I'd go outside and play ball and everything, but now in my free time I just kind of lay back and relax because this atmosphere is so busy and stressful, so anytime I can sleep, you'd best believe I'm sleepin'.
Since the age of 6, I've always wanted to go to space.
I can sleep anywhere. I'm like an infant.
