Have you ever wondered why you can sleep in a new place? That's what happens to the body!

The phenomenon that you experience when you sleep in a new place, but s'you fall asleep, is known as the first-night “effect of the first night” This effect is well - known among sleep researchers.

It turns out that when you sleep in a new, unknown country, your brain recognizes it as a potentially dangerous environment and does not allow you to fall completely asleep. In other words, we have difficulty sleeping because, like dolphins, only one hemisphere of our brain ceases when we sleep in a new place. Yuka Sasaki, one of Brown University scientists, says our <x0trur can have a miniature system of what whales and dolphins have”.

A team of scientists from Brown University recruited 35 healthy volunteers: He invited them to spend two nights in a laboratory, with a week of space between nights and then researched brain activity.

Researchers found an asymmetry in the depth of sleep between left and right parts of the brain. The left hemisphere was not in a state of sleep as deep as the right and was more vulnerable and sensitive to different sounds. A week later, during the second night in the laboratory, the depth of sleep between the hemispheres was much more symmetrical.

Although the FNE, as a phenomenon, is quite interesting, it can bring much trouble to those who constantly experience it. Sleep deprivation can cause overweight problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes, however, is not as problematic as it seems. Researchers suggest some practical tricks that will help you to overcome FNE and sleep well no matter where you spend the night. The point is Make the place resemble your bedroom.

Bring something familiar: Your pillow, your favorite pajamas, or a hot drink you usually have before you sleep.
Keep your normal sleeping routine: Try to go to bed at the same time and follow the usual routine rituals you attend at home.
Don't Think that “oh not how I'm going to fall asleep”, but think of it as “
