NASA Experiments fulfilled by the Russian cosmonaut in the frames of the annual medical program
Experiment Sleep Monitoring
Objectives:
The end of the "Sleep" experiment with the use of actigraph and registration of sleep with annual expedition members participation.
Tasks:
The test of hypothesis that
- long (annual) space flight leads to sleep disturbance identified by wrist actigraph;
- sleep duration is connected to impression of light at an inopportune time and/or insufficient intensity while transferring crew members to needed cycle of sleep and wakeful state;
- sleep disturbances and/or biorhythms failure lead to subjective dissatisfaction of sleep and vivacity level in the day-time;
- long (annual) space flight leads to the duration's reduction and quality loss of a sleep, and also leads to tiredness during the day according to the sleep and wakeful state log data.
Used science hardware:
- Actiwatch Spectrum wrist actigraph;
- sleep log.
Experiment results:
Data obtained by Actiwatch Spectrum actigraph.
