Because of the false alarms that went off last night the camp-out in Quest airlock was abandoned and Foreman and Bresnik slept in another part of the station.
"Because it will take about another 90 minutes to return the Quest airlock to the normal configuration, spacewalkers Mike Foreman and Randy Bresnik will abandon the campout protocol and go to sleep elsewhere. They will perform an exercise protocol in the morning to scrub nitrogen from their systems, which the campout protocol normally accomplishes."
- NASA news update
"the spacewalk will be shortened by 30 minutes, removing some “get ahead” tasks that were planned for the excursion. "
- NASA news update
Wakeup is now planned for 3:58 am ET. 30 minutes later then planned.

And now it's Bresniks turn to exercise on CVIS bike. Getting some help by Jeff Williams and Nicole Stott.
This exercise is to purge nitrogen from the blood before todays spacewalk. Usually the camp out removes the nitrogen but because of yesterdays depress alarm and subsequent fire alarms the camp out was aborted.

SRMS is taking ELC-2 out of payload. Bresnik and Foreman are donning spacesuits in Quest, Nicole (and someone else I guess) is helping them :

Com check for EVA is going on. I think it's Barry Wilmore who is helping Nicole getting them ready.
ELC-2 is still on the SRMS.
