25、Almost everyone has a question or two about living in space. What is life really like in space? And what do astronauts（宇航员）do there?

Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on Earth. When they wake up, they wash their hair. brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well. However, because of microgravity（微重力）, astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and leg restraints（腿部固定装置）to position themselves when they use the toilet.

Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the natural form such as fruit. Other foods require adding water such as noodles. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid going bad.

Besides morning routine（常规）and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks including checking the machines, updating computer equipment（更新电脑设备）, etc. At the same time, the control center on Earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to assist them in their daily routines.

What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of relaxation is looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.

Up to two-thirds of children don’t get as much sleep as they should do and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.

So     should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you’ll have energy the next day.

But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old.

One group went to sleep and the other group stayed     . The result?
