And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the

36、brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places

37、outside their home. They call it “first-night influence”. “In Japan they say,If you change your bed, you cant sleep.”said Yuka Sasaki, one of the reports writers. “You dont sleep very well in a new place.

38、hts in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart(间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half.

39、in waves all night long. So, they dont know if the left half keeps“watch” all night, or whether it “works in shifts(轮换) with the right half later in the night”.

40、earch may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep.
