The ones who are excited about their own personal current projects can stay awake for 20 years while the other sleep; then they go to sleep and the others pick up where they left off for another 20 years. And so on and so forth.
Obvious solution is obvious.

As much as i like the idea going to the future I don’t want to miss my daughter growing up.
Cryogenics was devised with freezing someone who was going to die anyway to a later time when the technology allowed for their affliction to be cured.
