Losing one's cool
So what is the status of the cooling system now, was it a sensor or a real
problem?

Are they back down to only 3 aboard the ISS? Seems if we can get back up

there are more aboard to be able to deal with (and more importantly

disrupting their day/night schedules.

There are 6 people on the ISS pretty regularly now; only down to 3 when
part of the crew leaves and the next hasn't yet arrived.
The 6 always sleep at the same time; it wouldn't help to have onboard
speakers, air-to-ground, various exercise equipment etc making noise when
a part of the crew is trying to sleep.
There were "shifts" on some science shuttle missions (such as STS-107) but
shuttle flights are time limited where as ISS is not nearly as much.
