Have yu ever had truble sleeping in a new place?
Lts f peple d. And nw researchers frm Brwn University in Rhde Island think they knw why. They fund that ne-half f the brain "remains mre awake" than the ther half when peple are trying t sleep in a new place.
The sleep findings were reprted in Current Bilgy by Brwn University. In their reprt, the researchers said many peple reprt they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a htel r ther places utside their hme. They call it "first-night influence". "In Japan they say, ‘If yu change yur bed, yu can't sleep,’" said Yuka Sasaki, ne f the reprt's writers. "Yu dn't sleep very well in a new place. We all knw abut it."
The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) fr 35 vlunteers ver tw nights in a labratry. The tw nights were a week apart(间隔). They fund during the first night the left half f the brain was mre active than the right half. "This was during the first deep-sleep perid," the researchers said.
Sasaki said a lt f questins remain.
Researchers did nt keep measuring brain waves all night lng. S, they dn't knw if the left half keeps "watch" all night, r whether it "wrks in shifts(轮换) with the right half later in the night". They als d nt knw why the brain activity, at least during the first perid f deep sleep, is always n the left half.
Fr sme, this research may be calming. It is gd t knw that ur brain is "lking ut fr us" in a new place. But it may nt help with sleep. That brain activity, at least accrding t this new research, makes it harder t get the sleep peple need t wake up well rested in the mrning.
