Sleep peacefully...if you dare...
Added 2024-12-12 15:05:15 +0000 UTCSo, you’re all comfy in your bed on Earth, while astronauts are up there suffering....
They can’t just lie down in a bed and sleep. Instead, they sleep in a special sleeping bag that’s strapped to the wall, ceiling, or floor (not that those concepts really exist in space). Total space lunatics... Honestly, I’d crap myself if someone just floated past me while I was trying to sleep.
And, obviously, you can’t just rest your head on a pillow either.
Oh, and let’s not forget—they don’t see just one sunrise and sunset like we do. They see about 16 because the ISS orbits Earth every 1.5 hours. Every 45 minutes, they hit the boundary between light and dark, called the terminator (and yes, "the machines rose from the ashes...").
On Earth, the transition between light and dark shows up as sunrise and sunset, smoothed out by the atmosphere. In space, though, the boundary is super sharp.
Good luck sleeping with that—there’s light shining in your face all the damn time.

2024-12-12 15:23:16 +0000 UTCThanks, I usually don’t let anyone in on my feelings, but for some reason I just speak my mind when I comment on your posts haha I feel like things would get better after December. I’m waiting for some news on December 20th which if goes my way, I will feel much better, and I will have some time off after Christmas for the first time in 4 years! Thanks for offering to chat. Can I DM you? (If patreon has a DM feature)

2024-12-12 15:15:33 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry and I hug you very tightly. I know what it's like to work non-stop. I'm not talking about now, but I face it from time to time. And I'm glad that I can distract you at least a little. Keep me informed about your affairs, I want this time in your life to end soon!

2024-12-12 15:14:20 +0000 UTCI have my own company and work as a contractor software engineer, and right now I’m working on two projects which basically makes me work almost all day (except a few hours of sleep) so I’m exhausted. Also had some really stressful situation in my personal life last week which was not fun to deal with and left me a bit traumatized. That’s why seeing your photos makes me much happier. I can escape.

Ana
