Hi @568nch28,
Life on the ISS is busy!!! Their time is set to the same as ours (GMT) so if its 1pm here, it is 1pm there 🙂
The astronauts are super busy every day packed with lots of experiments to do, and 2.5 hours of exercise every day to keep them healthy! They have time for meals though like us, and of course sleep through the night. They also have the weekends off to have some personal time, talk to their family, and participate in outreach activities engaging with the public.
