Sleeping in a new place is not entirely healthy for our brain
Recent studies show that half of the brain remains awake when it sleeps in a strange place
Have you ever gone to sleep at a luxury hotel, with an amazing bed, but still can not get to sleep? Or that you stay in that of a friend in whom you have total confidence, but in any case you feel that you can not rest well? Relax, what happens to you has a scientific explanation.
Known as "difficulty sleeping in a new environment" this problem has caught the attention of neurologists for several years. So much so that even have been assigned a scientific name: "first night effect" or FNE according to its acronym in English.
A team of researchers from Brown University has analyzed this phenomenon, but more recently a group of professors from the Faculty of Psychology of the Georgia Institute of Technology have gone further into this phenomenon. In an article recently published in the scientific journal Current Biology, these teachers share their findings with the world.
The difficulty to sleep in a new environment is neurologically equivalent to sleeping with one eye open, and is explained because only half of the brain of the person manages to rest. In other words, one of the hemispheres of the brain remains awake and alert, so the person may feel that they did not manage to rest properly, and may even feel more tired than before going to bed.
The one that stays alert is, in general, the left hemisphere. The same happens with some animals such as birds and aquatic mammals like dolphins, who sleep like this to avoid being attacked at night. However, the difference between humans and animals is that this asymmetry between the hemispheres can disappear on the second night of sleeping in a strange place for men, but in animals it is maintained for life.
