Where Does Cabin Crew Sleep In Passenger Airplane ?
Hi im new to this forum. I'm hoping to join aviation college in Sri Lanka.
Before joining im searching about the life of an cabin crew member.
How do they manage while long flights? Sleep food?
I found some article says there is a hidden room for cabin crew members to sleep. The Secret Airplane Bedroom Where Flight Attendants Sleep - Wonder Discovery
Is that true?
If cabin crew can sleep? Who will work?
how often do they get leaves?
Can anyone briefly explain this

Many, but not all, long haul aircraft have 'secret' (ie: not readily visible to passengers) areas for crew to take breaks during long flights. Some are in the space above the cabin. In the 747 they are sometimes behind the upper deck cabin. Some are below the main cabin floor and some in an isolated area on the main deck floor. There are usually separate rest areas for pilots and for cabin crew.
Those areas are called "crew rest areas". If you search for that term, you'll find lots and lots of web pages, often with pictures, of various accommodations on various aircraft.
Note that the provision and nature of crew rest areas are usually optional extras that each individual airline will choose (or not) when they purchase a new aircraft. The Boeing 787, for example, has provision for three or four or more sleeping bunks above the main cabin, and most airlines have ordered that, but the Australian Jetstar 787 aircraft don't have crew rest areas.
