This article collection aimed to highlight the crucial role of sleep during human exploration of outer space and extreme environments in general. Astronauts and cosmonauts need to preserve optimal physical and mental wellbeing to avoid cognitive derangement and performance decrement. We invited contributions that would investigate how sleep quality is affected by extreme environments as well as mitigation approaches.
