Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so what we're talking about, Yeah, the astronauts.
So I was watching the news and the astronauts, you know,
they're back on planet Earth, and they were talking about
being up there, and everybody wants to know, like what
was it like Between the two of them. They're very
grateful for what the time that they spent up there, right,
they didn't feel left or stranded anyway. They're talking about
sleep and he says that is it? Butch the guy,

(00:20):
He says, Uh, you know, I got the best sleep
of my life in space. I think you sleep better
in space than you do on Earth. Now, I never
wanted to go to space. I'm not one of those
people that needs to test space. Right, you start floating
with good sleep, and I don't know, given the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Up there, how are they sleeping Because they're not in
a bed.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I guess because you're floating, like I don't know your body.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
They have to tether themselves to the wall so they
don't float around.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Okay, maybe space is like water because you're you know,
like waitless. So maybe you get waterbed and you can
mimic the sleep that they have in space like water.

best sleep of your life because you're weightless, and when
you're you're on water, you're also like weightless.
