Aims:
(1) Obtain and analyze subjective data from a representative sample of current astronauts who have flown short duration STS missions on their sleep behaviors and sleep quality on Earth, during training periods, and during Shuttle missions;
(2) Based on an analysis of the data, identify and recommend specific strategies to current and future astronauts for ensuring sleep quality and quantity during spaceflight missions;
(3) Provide recommendations to flight rules and requirements and crew health or habitability standards recommendations for managing sleep-loss related fatigue problems from spaceflight; and,
(4) Assess the feasibility of implementing the full survey instrument, or portions of it, as a standardized operational measure for all spaceflight missions and the information captured in the LSAH.
