15、 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 stays more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.The sleep findings were reported in Curren
16、t 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.

17、ne of the reports writers. You dont sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.The researchers measured brain waves for 35 volunteers over two nights in a lab. 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
18、 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. Therefore, they dont know if the left half keeps watch all night, or whether it works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later
19、 in the night. They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research 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. That brain activity,
20、 at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.( )13.
