Sleeping in Space
 
Nocturnal accommodations are a bit tricky when there is no clear split between night and day. The quick fix is to use the same time as Cape Canaveral, but this can be a pain in the neck when you need someone up at all times. Someone will feel like its midnight when the ships clock says 8:00AM.
 
One way to beat space lag is a shift change over. Fill out a check-list and brief the oncoming crew and support crews in one place so everyone knows whats going on, some people find it annoying, but a good chunk of info would be left out otherwise. My unit uses three shifts: 24hours on, 24hours off, and 8hours on to support the crew on 24hour shift. The unit right above us uses 12hours on 24hours off with no support shift. For continuous operation off-world three equal shifts (whatever fit best with a work/rest ratio) at a minimum would keep the crew sane enough to perform and conduct routine maintenance 24/7, and rested enough for an all hands on deck emergency.
 
As far as minor comforts go customizable lighting settings are easy. Compartmentalized air conditioning is probably not going to happen, so expecting cabin temperature to be 20C give or take, light sleeping bags are in. Youll both be comfy and not having to worry about bumping into anything while you float around knocked the [guess] out. Sound is another easy one with three options: ambient ship noises, recorded nature/music, or ear plugs.
 
Last to consider is the disorientation of going from clearly defined gravity to free fall. The space stupids are unique to each person, lasting from a few days to months. A quick and dirty generalization is suddenly your frame of reference swaps & without moving, you feel like youre upside down. Other symptoms include dizziness, and temporary confusion. The best I can offer you now is a universally accepted frame of direction (bridge up, engines down, and base port and starboard off the seats in the bridge), and embrace the drift either in play or dance. Sitting still may help let you acclimate, but engaging in your environment speeds up the process a lot! This isnt universal, but heck why not have some fun anyways?
 
Just a heads up my unit is moving so if I dont post its because Im hiding. Love the job, not so much for some of my peers. Thanks for reading, Cheers!
