astronauts sleep in sleeping bags tied up to the ceiling and the floor so they wont move around so much
Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags. The bags are fixed to the wall inside a spacecraft. They keep astronauts warm and stop them floating about while they sleep! A special shower lets the astronauts wash without drops of water floating everywhere.

∙ 12y agoI had the experience of sleeping in space when I was in a probe to the moon in the Apollo 11 mission. Astronauts have sleeping bags to sleep in, it helps people to not drift around when sleeping. It's like sleeping in a tent except that it is up in space. All astronauts have to do it, otherwise they'll float around in zero gravity and bump into equipment!

∙ 13y agoThere are a variety of ways astronauts can sleep in space, depending on the mission and personal preference. Since there is no "up" in space, they can comfortably sleep vertically as well as horizontally. On space shuttle missions, they often sleep in their seats, in sleeping bags attached to the walls of the shuttle, or by tethering themselves to the walls.
