Aims:
The purpose of this task is to evaluate sleep data from the largest, most systematic assessment of sleep in space (Barger et al., 2014), relative to environmental factors on the ISS, so that the relationship between specific factors (e.g. noise) and sleep duration, can be quantified.
Category:
Risk Characterization, Quantification
Subcategory:
Evidence or Risk Characterization
Description:
Relationship between environmental factors (i.e., noise, hypercapnia, and hypoxia) and sleep disturbances in space, to address the pressing need to understand the relationship between sleep and environmental factors aboard the ISS for the operational management of crew health, to inform standards and design of future exploration class vehicles, and to possibly inform additional research that may be needed.
