On the radio the crew use to communicate with mission command, we heard Commander Reid Wiseman asking where are the team’s pyjamas.
He asked for their “comfort garments”, before the astronauts went into the sleeping area for about four hours.
Schedules in space are incredibly strict. Every minute is accounted for by Mission Control.
Today, the crew are sleeping for about four hours at a time, adding up to eight hours over a 24-hour period.
Sleeping in space can be tricky. The crew must strap themselves into special hanging sleeping bags, and generally some astronauts struggle to nod off as their bodies adapt to weightlessness.
But others say their best sleep ever is in space.
This crew have strict instructions to exercise for 30 minutes every day to protect their muscle and bone density as they live without gravity.
Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover went first, testing out Orion’s “flywheel exercise device”, which is about the size of a carry-on suitcase.
Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen were scheduled to exercise later on – using the wheel for rowing, squats and deadlifts.
We assume they’ve had their first meals too, from Nasa’s tailor-made Artemis II menu.
