Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Astronauts on the International Space Station, or ISS, often spend six to 12 months in space, orbiting Earth. It can be a little cramped staying inside the space station all that time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Astronauts usually stay on the space station for about six months. The length of an astronaut’s space mission is usually decided by the space agency that they work for.

Detailed explanation-3: -How long do astronauts stay on the ISS? The average mission length for an astronaut is six months or 182 days, but the amount of time varies based on their mission.

Detailed explanation-4: -The living and working space in the station is larger than a six-bedroom house (and has six sleeping quarters, two bathrooms, a gym, and a 360-degree view bay window). To mitigate the loss of muscle and bone mass in the human body in microgravity, the astronauts work out at least two hours a day.

Detailed explanation-5: -Astronauts usually sleep by restraining their bodies in a small sleeping compartment or sleeping bag. In space, there’s almost no gravity, so there’s no distinction between up and down like on earth. Any surface can be a floor, wall, or ceiling, and therefore astronauts can sleep anywhere.

Detailed explanation-6: -Space station crews usually sleep in sleeping bags located in small crew cabins. Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person. Generally, astronauts are scheduled for eight hours of sleep at the end of each mission day.

Detailed explanation-7: -There are different sleeping compartments which are inside the sleeping bags on the space state. The bodies of astronauts are loosely strapped in order to prevent the materials from floating inside the shuttle. Astronauts are able to sleep facing any direction and anywhere.
