Seeing the world and how it ticks

Catching 40 winks. This crew member learned quickly to be an oppurtunistic sleeper. Watches rotated in 4 hour cycles on board, meaning that you worked from (for example) 4-8 o'clock each morning and afternoon. Trying to sleep in the intervening hours, with the ship pitching and rolling, was almost an artform. So every nap counted.
