Q: How do you sleep in space? Gezeravcı: We had designated areas. I secured myself by stretching the sleeping bag to 4 points. By fixing the ones fixed to the wall to the holding points, I stayed inside the sleeping bag for accommodation. The purpose of the sleeping bag is to prevent you from moving from one module to another due to air exits, in other words, to stabilize you.
