Sleep is vital for our overall well-being. A night of good sleep keeps your mind and body healthy. Without it, you cannot function well in the long run. And nobody knows that better than the astronauts at NASA. To avoid health issues that occur due to lack of sleep, the scientists developed a method of falling asleep and this method is proven to work in both space and on earth. Let us tell you about the method.
7. Timing of Sleep
If you are in the International Space Station, the sun rises 16 times a day for you. That’s because the International Space Station orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. That’s a major reason why astronauts suffer from circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The scientists in NASA think that the most effective way to handle this problem is going to bed and getting up at the same time. There are pieces of software to help you with this process. You can also schedule “silent mode” on your mobile devices so that they do not show you any notifications past a certain time at night and turn the notifications on automatically in the morning.
