Ron says, "I slept with
my
lightweight headset on last night, so (I) didn't have
to have that
(Snoopy) cap on." Mentions that he "took a bath and
changed my
underwear, and all those good things." Ron asks
how his sleeping
heart rate compared with his pre-flight data; surgeon
says low-60s or
high-50s preflight and about 10 beats per minute
lower in
flight. Ron also discusses his experience with
sleep restraints
and sleeping bags thus far in the flight. Also
some psychological
issues in adapting to sleep in zero g. |

Ron woke up 2 or 3
hours after
going to sleep and was awake for about an hour before
sleep again. "Oh,
and I was just itching like a son of a gun." It was
his forearms "from
the wrist back to the elbow" that was itching |
