No report No report Early wake-up just prior to Rev 8 LOS to tell the crew that they'll be doing an engine burn at 95:56 to trim their orbit.  The early wake-up gives the crew time to eat and get ready for the burn.

Wake-up an hour early to locate and stop an oxygen leak.  CapCom says" It looked like you were getting pretty good sleep there for a while, Jim."  LMP replies "Yes, sir.  That's the best sleep I've had on the flight."  CDR comments, "I was way down in sleep when you gave us a call."  But is glad Houston woke them to take care of the problem.
