Astronauts Experience More Than A Dozen Sunrises A Day
Due to the fact it only takes the ISS roughly 90 minutes to fully orbit the Earth, astronauts on board are treated to a sunrise and sunset every 45 minutes. As you can imagine, this can make trying to get a decent night's sleep quite difficult, especially with the sun frequently popping back into view. An astronaut is expected to get between 6 and 8 hours of sleep, but when you have 45 minutes of light followed by 45 minutes of dark, this easily disrupts an astronaut's natural day and night cycle! To try and get around this, the ISS has its lights turned up to full brightness for roughly 15-16 hours and then those lights at dimmed for between 8-9 hours when it’s time to sleep and rest.

#3 Where is that district?
#7 *One ages more slowly*.
#20 How in tf is that an American staple? Bacon, peaches, and sugar cookies: I can say without hesitation that I have never eaten that combination of things for any meal. And who in tf would drink pineapple juice, grapefruit juice, and coffee? Why not take it all the way and just have a big old glass of battery acid, paint thinner, and kerosine.
