China News Service, Beijing, December 7 (Mar Shuaisha, Guo Chaokai, and Zhankang) How do astronauts sleep on the Chinese Space Station?
Do you dream in space?
At the meeting between the crew of Shenzhou 12 astronauts and reporters held on the 7th, astronaut Liu Boming revealed the concerns of these netizens.
Astronauts are in a state of weightlessness in space. How do they sleep on the Chinese space station?
In this regard, Liu Boming said at the meeting that the sleeping postures of the three astronauts on the Shenzhou 12 crew were different. He himself tied the sleeping bag to the bed. Nie Haisheng was "sleeping" while Tang Hongbo was tied. "Floating" on one side.
Liu Boming said that no matter which position it is, as long as the quality of sleep is guaranteed.
His sleep time in space is basically fixed, usually around 8 hours, and he spends 20 to 30 minutes listening to music and writing notes before going to bed every day.
Only by ensuring adequate sleep can work efficiency in outer space be higher. Therefore, his sleep is basically the same regardless of weightless space or on the ground without weightlessness.
Talking about whether he would dream in space, Liu Boming said that he sometimes dreamed, such as dreaming about whether he would encounter aliens when he was out of the cabin before leaving the cabin, and which language should be used when meeting aliens. Communicate, whether to use body language.
Sometimes the three astronauts will communicate with each other on weekends, discussing who has never dreamed, etc. It is very interesting.
