De ce dormim mai prost într-un loc necunoscut, chiar dacă patul este confortabil. Ce se întâmplă cu creierul în prima noapte

The "first-night effect" explains why people struggle to sleep well in unfamiliar environments. Research shows that the brain remains vigilant, with one hemisphere monitoring for potential dangers. This phenomenon can lead to difficulty falling asleep and frequent awakenings. Factors like changes in light, noise, and routine also contribute to poor sleep. To improve sleep quality in new places, maintaining familiar bedtime routines and bringing comforting items can help. Arriving a day early before important events may also reduce this effect.
