But this added rest increased cognitive performance.<\/li>\n<li>Overall there were a lot of individual level differences in how the participants reacted to the conditions, with some having significant psychological issues. A future manned mission to Mars will have to carefully screen to ensure that the space-voyagers that go on the trip have the right personality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more about the study and what it found over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wiredscience\/2013\/01\/sleep-problems-mars-500\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wiredscience\/2013\/01\/sleep-problems-mars-500\/\">Wired<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International space agencies have been conducting experiments about the challenges and issues related to a future manned-mission to Mars writes Adam Mann.
