Day17—— Why It's Harder to Sleep in New Place

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?
【你曾有过在一个新地方睡觉的困难吗?】
Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why.
【很多人确实有。现在罗德岛布朗大学的研究人员认为他们知道为什么。】
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.
【他们发现,当人们试图在一个新的地方睡觉时,大脑的其中一半比另一半“保持更清醒”。】
This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place, the researchers said.
【研究人员说,这似乎是大脑让人们在一个新的地方为麻烦做好准备的一个例子。】
The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology and by Brown University.
【睡眠研究结果发表在当代生物学和布朗大学。】
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.
【研究人员在他们的报告中说,许多人报告说,他们在酒店或其他地方的第一个晚上睡得更加困难。】
They call it, "first-night effect."
【他们称之为“第一晚效应”。】
"In Japan they say, ‘if you change your pillow, you can't sleep,''' said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's authors. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it."
【“在日本,他们会说,如果你换了枕头,你就睡不着了,”该报告的作者之一佐佐木友介说。“你不会在一个新的地方睡得很好。 我们都知道。“】
The researchers measured brain waves for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart.
【研究人员在实验室里测量了35名志愿者两个晚上的脑电波。这两个晚上相隔一周。】
They found during the first night the left hemisphere of the brain was more active than the right hemisphere. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.
【他们发现,在第一个晚上大脑的左半球比右半球更活跃。研究人员说,这是在第一次深度睡眠期间。】
