Why do we struggle to sleep in new places?
Scientists have uncovered why we struggle to sleep in unfamiliar places. A specific brain circuit, activated by new environments, releases neurotensin, keeping us alert. This 'first night effect' acts as a survival mechanism, with one eye open for danger. This discovery could lead to new insomnia treatments.
