Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place Lots of people do And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why They found that one half of the brain remains more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place the researchers said 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 outside their home They call it first night influence In Japan they say If you change your pillow you can t sleep said Yuka Sasaki one of the report s writers You don t sleep very well in a new place We all know about it The researchers measured brain waves 测量脑波 for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory The two nights were a week apart They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half This was during the first deep sleep period the researchers said Sasaki said a lot of questions remain Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long So they don t know if the left half keeps watch all night Or whether it works in shifts with the right half later in the night They also don t know why the brain activity at least during the first period of
