The #HISEAS#crew answered all your #questions! Any more questions? Just ask!
Many thanks to @jnxyz and @stempunksau for gathering all of these great questions for us! 😊
I’m VERY glad that when I was an #AnalogAstronaut with HERA we got to sleep 8 hours each night! Even still, I can’t emphasize enough how much energy my crew mates and I put into meticulously rationing our limited coffee supply! 👩🚀 ☕️
Do you ever go 22 hours without sleep? What about 40 hours? How does sleep impact your performance? NASA’s Human Research Program uses the Human Exploration Research Analog to study how crews perform depending on how much they sleep. Learn more: nasa.gov/hrp/elements/hfbp
