70. Where are all the beds and rooms on the spaceship? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

There are just two rooms on the orbiter: the flight deck, which can accommodate four people, and the mid deck just below, where up to six people can sit. There may be three to five sleep stations installed in the mid-deck that are sort of like bunk beds, and astronauts usually sleep in bags similar to sleeping bags. (Ref. 1)
