Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Space has no “up” or “down, ‘’ but it does have microgravity. As a result, astronauts are weightless and can sleep in any orientation. However, they have to attach themselves so they don’t float around and bump into something. Space station crews usually sleep in sleeping bags located in small crew cabins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The astronauts can sleep anywhere facing any direction. But it’s not good to be floating away somewhere while sleeping. So the astronauts use small sleeping compartments and sleeping bags. They will strap their bodies loosely so that their bodies will not float around while they sleep in the Space Shuttle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The bathroom is full of handholds and footholds so that astronauts don’t drift off in the middle of their business. To pee, they can sit or stand and then hold the funnel and hose tightly against their skin so that nothing leaks out. To poop, astronauts lift the toilet lid and sit on the seat-just like here on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -"Anatomically and biologically, ‘’ Baylor space medicine expert Jennifer Fogarty told the site, “there are no known impediments to human conception in space.” But there are “serious concerns, ‘’ she said, that the microgravity and radiation could mess up or even kill a fetus.

Detailed explanation-5: -To reproduce this floating effect, NASA Glenn engineers added four bearings that look like hockey pucks to the bottom of the ZLS treadmill. These devices, called air bearings, have tiny holes that emit a thin film of air, causing the machine to float much like the puck on an air-hockey table.
