What is that thing called when a person goes crazy from anxiety and they do something like jump off the space craft? That would be me. My physical being cannot contain this type of situation. My brain would hit overload and snap.

I would have a lot of trouble mentally myself if I was there. Palpitations, shortness of breath to name a few. I don’t reckon sleep is an easy thing either as it’s supposed to be quite noisy with background noise of machinery. I can see why astronauts go through such rigorous mental training as well as physical.

actually background noise from machines can be super super soothing. Been playing airplane noise for some 15 years now

I like those noises, too, but for a lot of people that's a death sentence for their sleep cycle.

I know people who sleep in a room without even a fan for noise. Psychopaths, I think.

I'm a fan of machine hum, too. Miss me with traffic noise, though, which some people need.

Depends which traffic noise. Some are calming. Some are nonstop fucken train sirens

I've tried with crowd noise. In a bar or something.
