Sleeping can slowly heal you while you're above 80% of your max health, but space people are extremely picky about their sleeping conditions.

Healing starts at 0.2 a tick for brute and burn and half that for toxins, reaching a maximum near 1 and 0.5 respectively. If you manage to combine all the healing factors, you might even be able to get a good night's sleep.
