[00:00:00]right over it. I'm explaining things very very enthusiastically in the video, but I'll be talking over it here. This is why you can't sleep like normal in space. It doesn't work. You can try, but it doesn't work.

[00:00:13]And man, sometimes you just want to plop down in a bed, but you can't.

[00:00:17]So, we have sleeping bags that are attached to the wall and we have a little bedroom. So, this is me in my space bedroom. I got on the little computer and my sleeping bag. So, every night what you do is you zip yourself up in your sleeping bag so that you don't float away. And it is the most comfortable sleep ever because there's no hot spots, you don't have to toss and turn, you just float there really peacefully. And we even have an arm holes in the sleeping bag so you can sleep like a zombie.

[00:00:50]It's the best.
