As the astronauts sleep aboard the ISS
The concept of "day" on board the orbiting space station is very conditional, because the ISS orbiting Earth, Dawn meets about 15 times a day. But this does not mean that the astronauts 15 times a day, go to bed and wake up: human biorhythms exist even outside the atmosphere, and not to stray from them for space explorers developed special sleep and rest.
Each "morning" the crew wakes alarm station, heard that the astronauts detachable from their sleeping bags that are attached to the walls of the spacecraft. At the same location, "bed" is crucial - they are fixed in the vicinity of the fan to provide astronauts a constant supply of fresh air during sleep. Otherwise, the plant workers at risk of suffocation in an enclosed space they produce carbon dioxide or will suffer from migraines due to oxygen starvation. Inside sleeping bags astronauts often take the position of the embryo in the womb is believed that this is the most comfortable position in microgravity.
In addition, machinery and equipment of the ISS operates continuously, and thus constantly noisy, because of what some members of the team compared the orbital space station with a huge vacuum cleaner buzzing and sleep with earplugs. However, most still used to the noise, especially those who in the world lived in large metropolitan areas and near highways. With regard to water treatment before going to bed, wash ISS employees as quickly as they can: wash flies under the jets of water - not an easy task. The soul of the ISS is not - it is replaced with wet towels, and clothes the astronauts wear a one-off and change it three times a day, as on board no washing machine, but simply throw away used clothing.
