Abstract

NASA: Researchers evaluated the sleep of astronauts onboard the Mir space station to determine the effect of weightlessness on sleep. Results indicate that all sleep stages occur in weightlessness, but vary in timing and duration. It is noted that individual physiological features of the astronauts play a marked role in sleep structure.
