      Hi,
      The astronauts sleep in something that looks like a sleeping bag. It is strapped to the wall and they are strapped in as well.
      Otherwise, as you suggested, they be floating around.

      Steve is right, in a sleeping bed hanging on a wall, with horizontal straps fixed on the wall. Inside the sleeping bed, I was more comfortable in a coiled position, curled up with the sensation of pressure on the soft tissues, to find sleep
