A flight to the ISS is by no means a pleasure trip, the cosmonauts who have visited the station know for sure. They talk about many of the problems they faced during the space expedition.
Astronauts living on the International Space Station carry out important tasks assigned to them by space agencies. Their missions are complex and full of dangers: life itself in space can negatively affect the psychological state of specialists. They spend a lot of time away from home, and the conditions of being on the ISS will drive anyone into depression.
According to former astronaut Ulrich Walter, who regularly flew into space in the 90s of the last century, many guys have had trouble sleeping. The fact is that they did not have the opportunity to lie down on a comfortable bed and take a sweet nap - since there is no gravity in space, even in their sleep, astronauts soared around the ISS. This, according to Walter, makes them feel insecure - you never know where the astronauts will be carried while they sleep.
Sleepers think that they are on display in front of the public and many are confused. To overcome insomnia, astronauts take a huge amount of sleeping pills, which again negatively affects their health. Such serious troubles are not put on display, since the public believes that astronauts have a great life on the ISS.
In fact, space flight is a difficult period in the life of every person, and the only delight for astronauts is the extraordinary beauty of our planet and the Universe as a whole, which undoubtedly delights the eye.
