Abstract

What happens to human sleep and circadian rhythms in space? There are many challenges that affect sleep in space, including unusual patterns of light exposure and the influence of microgravity. This talk will review the causes and consequences of sleep loss and circadian misalignment during spaceflight and will discuss how missions to the Moon and Mars will be different than missions to the International Space Station.
