摘要

Abstract

Sufficient sleep duration and good sleep quality are crucial to ensure normal physical and mental health

cognition and work performance for the common people

as well as astronauts. On-orbit sleep problem is very common among astronauts and has potential detrimental influences on the health of crewmembers and the safety of flight missions. Sleep in space is becoming a new medical research frontier. In this review we summarized on-orbit sleep problems of astronauts and six kinds of causes

and we presented the effects of lack of sleep on performance as well as mental and physical health

then we proposed seven kinds of countermeasures for sleep disturbance in spaceflight

including pharmacologic interventions

light treatment

crew selection and training

Traditional Chinese Medicine and so on. Furthermore

we discussed and oriented the prospect of researches on sleep in space.
