The answer is . . . they sleep in special sleeping bags that are velcroed to the wall. How cool is that? The sleeping bags actually have arm holes that they slide their arms through and this keeps them from floating out of the bags during the night. The astronauts also velcro their heads to the wall to hold them in a steady position. Before the shuttle reached the ISS, all 6 crew members were crammed into the shuttle middeck and cockpit. Once they reached the station, they all spread out. Terry has been sleeping in the Columbus module for the last 8 days or as my kids like to say, he's having a sleepover with his friends Mr. Jeff and Mr. TJ.
Terry is so silly. He has his sleep mask on upside down. Or maybe it's right side up and he's upside down
