Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed but not our own ones, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or【1】 to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be【2】 reasons.

According to a new study, an【3】 reason is what the scientists call "first night effect" . They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential（ 潛 在 的 ）【4】 . It makes us stay【5】 in a new environment.

For the study, 35 young volunteers【6】 to sleep in a sleep lab for several days.

Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.

According to the researchers, on their【7】 night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants（ 參 與 者 ）got an increasingly【8】 sleep experience.

The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work【9】 , the balance between them is broken. So, the brain can't relax and is sensitive（ 敏 感 的 ）to【10】 strange in the surroundings.

If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect" , researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
