Default Losing one's cool

So what is the status of the cooling system now, was it a sensor or a real
problem?

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.
